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 Marcy]
