Jarmusch’s latest film may be his boldest and most accomplished cinematic statement to date. Isaach DeBankole plays an unnamed man on an unspecified mission through Spain, receiving cryptic directions — from the likes of Tilda Swinton, John Hurt and Gael García Bernal — along the way. Pleasures abound in the form of visual, verbal and aural details that might be clues to a metaphysical mystery, although they may also be nothing more than winsome distractions. Ace DP Christopher Doyle ensures that every composition counts, while the soundtrack – a combination of Boris, Sunn O))), Schubert, Earth, flamenco and Jarmusch himself – couldn’t be more skilfully used.
dir Jim Jarmusch, US 2008, 116 mins, 35mm
