The Limits of Control

w/d Jim Jarmusch

His latest exercise in minimalist filmmaking...this time with what looked like a big budget. Very slick and professional looking. Deliberately opaque story-telling...we never do find out what is going on here.

Without any substantive context this ended up as surface material...possibly satisfying to the European intellectuals who funded it but unengaging and pointless to the rest of us.

Still...it actually did hold my interest to the very end...why I can't say.
