    "The Limits of Control" Review

    I thought about why I was suddenly obsessed with Jarmusch.
    Because he always stands at a height that is enough to despise the whole world, and takes pictures of what he likes; the whole world says that it is obscure, profound and even difficult, and he smiles, ignorant crowd.
    I love that he ignores...

    Well, even if the narrative technique is very special, but the pace is so slow, the male protagonist is so silent and so ugly, it is really difficult not to fall asleep.

The Limits of Control quotes

  • Violin: Are you interested in music, by any chance? I believe that musical instruments, especially those made out of wood - cellos, violins, guitars, I believe that they resonate, musically, even when they're not being played. They have a memory. Every note that's ever been played on them is still inside of them, resonating in the molecules of the wood. I guess, like everything, it's just a matter of perception, no?

  • Mexican: The old men in my village used to say, everything changes by the colour of the glass you see it through. Nothing is true. Every thing's imagined. Do you notice reflections? For me, sometimes the reflection is far more present than the thing being reflected. Are you interested in hallucinations, by any chance? Have you ever tried peyote? Do you know who the Huicholes are? They wear mirrors around their necks. And they play violins. Handmade violins. With only one string.
