Wyld Cannon 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2007 I borrowed Stranger than Paradise from the public library. It was pretty good, but I like Jarmusch's Dead Man much better for the same "dreamy dreary atmosphere" quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2007 Stranger Than Paradise is the only really great Jarmusch movie, I think. The rest of them all seem to be trying too hard to recapture that film's dead-pan weirdness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2007 I'd say Dead Man is easily equal to, if not better than, Stranger Than Paradise. It easily surpases its predecessor in creating a completely familiar yet wholly alien universe. Dead Man's a hard one to love, granted, it just happened to hit me in just the right spot.

PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2007 Dead Man (and everything else he's done (especially Dead Flowers)) just feels forced and affected to me. It's like Jarmusch decided what kind of atmosphere he wanted the film to have and then set about constructing the characters and plot andc. around that atmosphere. It's little more than an exercise in pure style that seems to be trying in vain to be something more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godthedog 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 i liked 'broken flowers' a lot the first time i saw it. so much that i saw it again at the theater the next weekend (which i haven't done since 'ghost world' in 2001, and that shouldn't even count since that was playing at the student center which only cost me $2). but seeing it again, there was absolutely nothing there and it just bored the shit out of me, so i left after 45 minutes or so. top 5 uses of voiceover narration: 1. badlands 2. the big lebowski 3. taxi driver 4. amelie 5. jules & jim 2-5 vacillate a little for me, but number 1 cannot be disputed. absolutely the best thing about a very very good movie. top 5 shittiest piece of shit i've watched in the last month: 1. crash 2. crash 3. crash 4. crash 5. crash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 Oh, Badlands. What a terrific fucking thing. Malick never even came close to equaling it. The appeal of Dead Man lies, to me, in numerous things. Neil Young's score, the gorgeous cinematography, the deadpan humor. Like I said, though, it's a hard one to love. A bit like a retarded child. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 I absolutely loved the last ten-or-so minutes of Broken Flowers, but was miserably bored by most everything that proceeded it. The final shot, though, was undermined (only slightly) by sticking around for the end credits and learning that the guy in the car was played by Murray's real life son. That doesn't mean that it was his character's son in the car, but it certainly wrecks the ambiguity of it. Anyway, Jarmusch seems uninterested in letting his characters be human beings. Were it not for my enjoying Ghost Dog (and the closing sequence of BF), I'd have written the guy off as a lost cause long ago. Still, he has one arguably great movie (Stranger Than Paradise), one very, very good one (Down by Law), two good, if nothing spectacular ones (Mystery Train and Ghost Dog), and the rest, which are so-so to awful.

Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 Down by Law is one of my all time favorites. The first 30 minutes or so of exposition is pretty slow and dull, but once they get to jail it grabs my interest and doesn't let go. The film also includes some of my favorite all-time moments: I Scream You Scream, Roberto's story about cooking the rabbit, and near the end with Roberto dancing with his wife.
