Buster Keaton, in the wide shot, he appears small and vulnerable, so the audience will find this shot funny and sad.

Negative is harder to play than positive.

Moments that other people might think are empty, pointless, moments that other directors cut out, I find it interesting. Likes any moment to be placid.

Commercial movies and quick edits give me a headache that don't have any musical feel to them.

I listened to a lot of mulatu songs while writing the script, how can I incorporate Ethiopian jazz into a film about the life of American city dwellers.

I wish my films didn't belong to any one genre.

Kind of like a detective story because there are characters looking for clues.

The actress started from her role and wrote that letter. They write wonderfully.

    Jarmusch's shots are the interpretation of style. No matter how ordinary the scene is, it will become its own temperament. The music taste is absolutely first-class, and the decadent but not depressing atmosphere is unparalleled, just like cigar coffee, classic and charming.
