Jim Jarmusch's latest brave, bizarre and very beautiful film.
- Tue 8 Dec 20:40 NFT1 book
Jarmusch's latest brave, bizarre and very beautiful film takes the conventions of the hitman movie and, through a theme-and-variations structure, turns into a wry meditation on the malignancy of power and a poetic celebration of the power of the imagination. De Bankolé is perfect as a taciturn, solitary agent sent to Spain, where a string of coded café encounters with mysterious eccentrics leads to a deadly assignation.
