dir. Jim Jarmusch
Rating: 7.7 | 0 User Reviews | Send to Friend
Director Jim Jarmusch’s never really been one for the climatic, three-point film. Here, he further proves his plot defiance and again positions his family of characters around brief encounters and vague dialogue. In short, it’s everything you love about Jarmusch and, frankly, it’s pretty bad-ass. “Lone Man” Isaach De Bankolé could easily be swapped with Jarmusch himself, which leads you to believe Limits may be one of his most personal films. Isaach, in his perfectly-pressed shark skin suits and stolid demeanor, travels a sturdy path between rendevous with personalities better suited for Cocteau’s experimental films; an always-nude nymph, the bohemian guitarist, the prolific actress and many ambiguous others that propel the story into a sort of mystery novel, dropping clues for both the viewer and the lead to figure out not only the film, but their destiny. Cinematographer Christopher Doyle paints a beautifully empty vision of Spain that transforms the audience to the most desolate, wandering of locations in Seville, Madrid and beyond.
