Review of The Limits of Control (2009) by Asdren X — 05 Dec 2009
No one can question Jarmusch's brilliant mind and what his auteur skills have offered cinema, but here I am - questioning him; since we've all become critics nowadays.
Jarmusch tried avoiding all cinema cliches, and he fell into the biggest one: he made a film about nothing particular (so it's for no one particular to like either), filled with artsy gimcrackery for a dialog, and endless repetitive scenes of an indifferent guy's routine between meeting miserable philosophers who exchange match boxes in cafes all across the fields of Spain.
Even though slow, it's not boring. Even though iterative, it's not meaningless. But it's really nothing special either. It looked as though it was made in two weeks, and that no one really put some effort in it. For me, probably Jarmusch's least successful movie.
