JIM JARMUSCH: THE LIMITS OF CONTROL

The Limits of Control is the new movie from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (Broken Flowers, Down by Law). The film is set in the striking and varied landscapes of contemporary Spain (both urban and otherwise). The location shoot there united the writer/director with acclaimed cinematographer Christopher Doyle (In the Mood for Love, Paranoid Park).

Isaach De Bankolé stars in the lead role for Mr. Jarmusch; this marks the duo’s fourth collaboration over nearly two decades, following Night on Earth, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, and Coffee and Cigarettes. The Limits of Control also features several other actors with whom Mr. Jarmusch has previously worked, including Alex Descas, John Hurt, Youki Kudoh, Bill Murray, and Tilda Swinton; and actors new to his films, including Hiam Abbass, Gael García Bernal, Paz De La Huerta, Jean-François Stévenin, and Luis Tosar.

The Limits of Control is the story of a mysterious loner (played by Mr. De Bankolé), a stranger, 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.

His journey, paradoxically both intently focused and dreamlike, takes him not only across Spain but also through his own consciousness.

MOBY 'Shot In The Back Of The Head' Directed by David Lynch

Moby's animated video for the single 'shot in the back of the head'. Directed by David Lynch.
This single has the definite taste of a classic David Lynch soundtrack. One where the star and co-star are driving at high rates of speed, through some California desert, well after midnight, with no lights except of the headlights of a late model American-made gas guzzler. The chain-smoking stars of this film also sit through longs uncomfortable bouts of silence as the cameraman with his hand-held, jumps from 'in your face' close-up to 'in your face' close-up.
This video is best if set in 'loop' mode while the track spins on and on and on. Don't get me wrong, I love-love this antiquated track. It stirs up emotions I experienced when first I was exposed to David Lynch's art. He has made many, many very beautiful films over the decades and I anxiously await the insertion of this track into one of his future films.
Some films That this tastes of are "Nadja", "Blue Velvet" and "Lost Highway". I'm quite sure you can add several other titles of your own to the mix.
