Jim Jarmusch: Still The Coolest?
Monday October 24, 2005
It all started with
"Stranger
Than Paradise."
Jim
Jarmusch's groundbreaking first film was shot in black and
white. The pacing
was slower than slow. The almost non-existent plot revolved around
the aimless
conversations of one bored guy with his angry Polish cousin and the
music of
Screaming Jay Hawkins. Twenty-one years laters, Jarmusch gives us
"Broken
Flowers." Now he's got the proven star power of Bill Murray
(hot off
Lost
in Translation), he's got four beautiful actresses, he's got
TV ads and
box
office success. It's hard not to wonder: has this defining
independent
filmmaker gone mainstream? Guardian
writer Sean O'Hagan discusses the question with Jarmusch
in this
fascinating
interview. [posted by
