New Trailer for Jim Jarmusch's 'The Limits of Control'
Filed under: Drama, Independent, Mystery & Suspense, Focus Features, Trailers and Clips
I regret to say that I don't feel that I've seen enough of Jim Jarmusch's work to determine whether or not I'm a capital-f Fan, but I do know that I do like what I have seen -- namely, Broken Flowers, much of Coffee and Cigarettes, and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.That last title seems to be the one to which his new film, The Limits of Control, merits the most comparison, if this new trailer (watch at Apple or below) is any indication. This time, though, our stoic assassin (Isaach De Bankole) has a bit more of an ensemble to work with on the streets of Spain, including Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Gael Garcia Bernal and melonfarmin' Bill Murray.
Normally, I'd be put off by the hipper-than-thou fortune-cookie banter we're treated to here, but I've got a feeling that there might be more than meets the eye (namely, the other 98 minutes of the movie), and speaking of 'meets the eye,' it certainly never hurts when cinematographer Christopher Doyle (Hero) is lensing your latest.
The Limits of Control goes into limited release on May 1st.

Yes. Yes. Yes!
I thought Coffee and Cigarettes was worthless, and I think Jarmusch is hit or miss. This looks much more like what I think he does well. And it looks awesome.

I am a big fan of Jarmusch so I will definitely be in line to see this one when it comes out. It looks like it should be pretty interesting.
