Journeying Jarmusch



Director Jim Jarmusch should be a role model for new directors - how to stay indie and walk your own path. Keeping up with the road movie theme he has explored time and time again starting with his classic "Stranger Than Paradise," Jarmusch begins filming of his new opus "Limits of Control" in the Spanish cities of Madrid, Seville and Almeria this month. It's being shot by cinematographer Christopher "In The Mood for Love" Doyle and features Jarmusch regular Isaach De Bankolé alongside more bankable Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton and Gael García Bernal.

Reports are the film is the story of a mysterious loner whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives are not initially divulged. Sounds like classic Jarmusch to me. Putting Bankolé as the main character is certainly a great move too.

Here's a bit of classic Jarmusch
