Review of The Limits of Control (2009) by Joseph C — 28 Dec 2009
"Are you interested in science by any chance? I'm interested in molecules. The Sufis say each one of us is a planet spinning in ecstasy. But I say each one of us is a set of shifting molecules. Spinning in ecstasy".
Every frame in this film belongs in an art gallery because it is wholly original, the way each face can be, the way light only hits something once, the way a dream is beautiful. Jim Jarmusch and Christopher Doyle create echoes of feeling, memory, love, and fashion- in love with the purity of images as much as they are in the destruction of it. The music crushes each placid moment until the next great canvas bleeds in. Performances are like playful haikus scrawled on old Spanish walls. This is so fucking ZEN.
