Fee: FREE

DIRECTOR: Jim Jarmusch. STARRING: Isaach De Bankole, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, John Hurt, Gael Garcia Bernal. USA. 116 mins. Jim Jarmusch’s (STRANGER THAN PARADISE, BROKEN FLOWERS) THE LIMITS OF CONTROL is a mesmerizing and typically idiosyncratic crime thriller. Isaach De Bankolé is the archetypal Lone Man on a mysterious mission that commences with a meeting in the Charles de Gaulle airport. Over in Spain, he travels from Madrid to Seville, encountering a peculiar succession of contacts (including Tilda Swinton as the movie lover ‘Blonde’) and listens out for codes in their loaded words. He exchanges matchboxes with these eccentric individuals, consuming them after reading their cryptic content. He waits in museums, absorbing pieces of art that seem to re-emerge in different forms in later scenes.The powerful mood of Christopher Doyle’s (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) cinematography radiates from the hypnotic rhythm and vibrantly beautiful colours. Quite possibly Jarmusch’s most enigmatic film to date, THE LIMITS OF CONTROL is a feast of striking imagery and a philosophical rumination of art and its role in perception. part of cinecity 2009
