The original poster for this board states:
"Jarmusch can. This film somehow manages to capture the existential
weirdness one feels in Memphis...as a visitor. At the same time you feel
like the place is dull as hell, you're also feeling like you're
experiencing something magical and bizarre. What a city. What a beautiful
little film."
I don't think I have read a more accurate description of this film's mood ever. Yes, while watching the film, works like existential, magical, and bizarre constantly came to mind. It has a certain energy that is essentially all its own. I would say that this is probably my favorite Jarmusch film. Night On Earth also captures an intriguing, lonesome mood, but this one does it better.
Broken Flowers is also a brilliant, strangely haunting film, but this one is still the best.
