In my opinion Jim Jarmusch is developing to the star of abstract film. Although if he does it not in such a unsettled way for example Lynch does. But he also left behind a perplexed audience. Also in this new work in which the viewer get the possibility to make own interpretations and analyses. The speechless Isaach De Bankole get an inscrutable order from an intransparent Spanish speaking principal. And even if our protagonist don't speak Spanish it seems that he absolute understand the meanings of the Spanish mottoes he's confronted with by having contact with his meetings the whole movie. Jarmusch shows in this movie his appreciation for aesthetic and his role as a style icon, too. The stage design with his forms and colours and also Jarmusch's sense for outstanding film locations makes you breathless. Especially is that he construct his atmosphere basically with fixed cameras and actually extreme reduced camera work. But this is at least also nothing new about Jarmusch as the mono-/dialogues few and far between but because of that very rich in content. This film is typical Jarmusch and because of that a must for fans of his work.
