In "The Limits of Control", he returned to the routine, still the same old things: anti-dramatic narrative, slow rhythm, fragmented structure, lifelike performance of still life, static performance, except that Du Kefeng added a small amount of himself The style of the lens, everything is still the stuff of Lao Jia. In addition, I really like the use of electric guitar in the film, as if any form of music can affect his works in one form.
If you are his followers, you will not be too disappointed, even if you are seeing his works for the first time. But compared with those masterpieces, it can only be said that the basic level is maintained. It seems that every change he makes will gain more support, and the first time he goes back is not welcomed.
The name "The Limits of Control" is actually quite mysterious. Personally, I think it is more of Jarmusch's relaxed and powerless expression. As he himself said: "Some people are like Hitchcock. Foreign affairs are not allowed to interfere with the story. Every shot is pre-planned. But he himself said that filming was boring because he knew what he wanted. I did the opposite. Well, what I can't control becomes part of the film."
Isaach De Bankolé, starring Isaach De Bankolé, is working with Jarmusch for the fourth time.
