Jarmusch on Bomb the System

For BOMB THE SYSTEM director Adam Lough takes far more inspiration from the on-going graffiti culture than from the depleted stylistic formulas of recent commercial cinema. His refreshing use of skewed camera angles, blasts of color and inventive cutting are deftly blended, becoming much more than calculated atmosphere. The performances are also consistently strong, and Mark Webber in particular, in the central role, never hits a false note. BOMB THE SYSTEM is welcome proof that the spirit of graffiti writing has a continuing cultural influence on both the subtleties of form and explosive personal expression.

Dear Palm pictures: Please send this film to Portland, ME, pretty please. Where is this Jim Jarmusch quote from anywho?

I have read the oddly mixed reviews, either loving it or panning it, but I find it strange that while all the older ones were glowing and then it won all these awards, now all of the sudden people don't like it.

Something similar happend with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" as well. I was really ticked off when people panned it right from the get go, and now a year later it's everyone's favorite movie.

Life it be strange:)
