Two cups of espresso is not equal to one cup of double espresso

Jarmusch's film, to me, is an allegory and a Zen koan.

Assassin, reclusive.
Day after day, drinking the same two glasses of espresso, listening to the same conversations from strangers, exchanging matchboxes and drip messages, and continuing on the road. The days were like the short form of Tai Chi he practiced every day. Just recite Amitabha Buddha, and you will be at ease.

Finally one day, the wind picked up and the sword was unsheathed.

Life, in fact, is like that. From one place to another, it seems simple and repetitive, but animals instinctively receive and filter relevant information, sometimes stinging, sometimes jumping, sometimes turning, and looking back, everything has its own meaning.

It's like a train that you occasionally board. I don't know what the scenery is along the way. You can only continue until the clouds are deep and the water is poor. When you get close to the core, everything will be instantly clear and clear.

Jarmusch's film is also a tribute to Wong Kar-wai. Du Kefeng, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life, uses the lens in a forbearing and smooth manner. Boris music. That little flamengo that robs people of their souls.

"If you want to know the true meaning of life, then go to the cemetery. We are a small bag of dust on the last day."

Waiting for tonight's documentary "Behind Jarmusch" to document the behind-the-scenes of the filming, Léa Rinaldi filmed three times with Sevilla. sky.

    A piece of paper like Wong Kar-wai's death

    The whole film is full of dreamy loneliness, the tone of music and pictures, as well as the shaking of the handheld camera, which are perfectly combined, creating a huge tension between the bland narrative and the tense plot.

The Limits of Control quotes

  • 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.

  • Carmen Linares: [sung in Spanish with English subtitles] There he will see what the world really is. / It's a handful of dirt.
