The Films of Jim Jarmusch

On the occasion of the release of Father Mother Sister Brother, we welcome an essential selection of Jim Jarmusch's 80s and 90s films back to the big screen.

His films move effortlessly across borders and cultures, populated by outsiders, nocturnal wanderers, and quietly charismatic mavericks. By defying the gravity of Hollywood, Jarmusch has built a oeuvre that is simultaneously minimalist and distinctly cosmopolitan. Seeing them again now reveals a cinema that doesn't so much age as continue to resonate—like a half-forgotten song that keeps playing somewhere in the background.

Classics: Stranger Than Paradise

Dry, quirky, and minimalist, but precisely because of that, secretly surprisingly funny and full of small, absurd moments that stick with you. Stranger than Paradise is exactly what you expect from a film by Jim Jarmusch.
