Jim Jarmusch explores the boundaries of the samurai film in this film set in New York in the late nineties.
Jim Jarmusch explores the boundaries of the samurai film in this movie set in late 1990s New York. The protagonist is the mysterious lonely hitman Ghost Dog (a critically acclaimed performance by Forest Whitaker), who moves with an almost magical lightness. RZA’s old-school hip-hop sound blends wonderfully with Jim Jarmusch’s understated style. Part of the Palme d'Or competition (Cannes Film Festival).
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.
