Review of The Dead Don't Die (2019) by Ginak — 16 Jun 2019
Jim Jarmusch films are an acquired taste that I acquired from the very first film of his I saw near Lincoln Center in NYC decades ago. Frankly I never expected to see him at AMC in the ‘burbs although this film seemed a bit more commercial than usual, even though it still had that special, slightly askew Jarmusch style.
His idea of apocalypse is like no other – and yet very familiar. But the most amazing thing about Jarmusch’s films is how comfortable and natural his actors seem, even when the weirdest things happen.
Jarmusch films are also very, very funny – and a great change from everyday life (and everyday films). You have to relax and “go with” his films, whatever happens, and then his films quickly become fun to watch.
They are both real – and not real.
