It's weird for me to say this given how I usually react, but I might have preferred even fewer stakes. I do think that Jarmusch films tend to get better with repeat viewings. That was definitely the case with me for Dead Man.

To me, it was a situation and not really a story, and became dull after a while. I prefer other Jarmusch films, but I should give Only Lovers another shot sometime. Jarmusch's Mystery Train I disliked on first viewing and enjoyed on rewatch. Go figure!

I feel silly for taking so long to see this movie. I'm a Jarmusch fan, but this is still one of my favorites from him.

I also loved the film's music and what it wanted to say about the world and how some things are just going away.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
