Jim Jarmusch joined Film Society of Lincoln Center's Gavin Smith for a Q&A following a screening of The Limits of Control on April 30th, 2009
Set in the striking and varied landscapes of contemporary Spain (both urban and otherwise), shot by acclaimed cinematography Christopher Doyle, and featuring music by cult Japanese psychedelic metal band Boris, The Limits of Control is the story of a mysterious loner (played by Isaach De Bankolé) whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives remain a mystery until the very end of the film. His journey, paradoxically both intently focused and dreamlike, takes him not only across Spain but also through his own consciousness.
In addition to De Bankolé, The Limits of Control also features several other actors with whom Jim Jarmusch has previously worked, including Alex Descas, John Hurt, Youki Kudoh, Bill Murray, and Tilda Swinton; and actors new to his films, including Hiam Abbass, Gael García Bernal, Paz De La Huerta, Jean-François Stévenin, and Luis Tosar.

@JT you seem to have a very limited idea of what movies (and music) can be. if you don't enjoy watching 2 hours of beautiful scenery and a cool guy hanging out that's fine, but it's not a critique against the film. same goes for music, there's plenty of long ambient or otherwise minimalist compositions that are just slight variations of the same thing over and over, and still are highly enjoyable to listen.

@19:35 I knew this guy was a nut job. He accuses ALL WHITE people (the entire group) for the faults of a small minority. He is completely ignorant to the fact that those evil people don't exist today, and the culture back in those days don't exist anymore. It's like accusing all Muslims of being mass murderers based on the terrorists in the surrounding Iraq area. It's ignorant thinking, and I only came her to verify what I thought about his movie being "pure trash", given that I understood the meaning. I am now happier knowing I understood the movie correctly, and it is still "pure trash".

Charlie Chuckleberry He doesn't accuse anybody in the room of being a racist colonialist. Listen to Jarmusch again, this time without any dog whistles ringing in your ears. He just states the fact that everyone in the room shares a history in which colonialism happened. If you feel guilty about it yourself, I suggest looking into the psychological phenomenon of "projection". Also, It's true that "the culture back in those days" doesn't exist anymore, because it is worse in these days. It has grown like a tumor. It conceals itself like criminal. The same self-interested parties who once were simple racist colonialists no longer care about anything, except their own material advancement. Theirs is an anti-culture, as they don't even care about each other. They are parasites, drunk on power, on a blatant doom trip. Do yourself (and everyone else) a favor, and stop listening to their bunk. (And please understand that I recognize that your point of view may be totally valid for you right now, but I simply disagree with it, and want you to defend your mischaracterization of Mr. Jarmusch.)

1. Those exact people don't exist - but have been replaced with equally capable simpletons today. 2. That culture you refer to is even stronger today - move out of your closed circle to see it from an outside perspective. 3. All Muslims have already been branded terrorists (haven't you been listening to ex-President Don Trump?) We can only correct and get better if we acknowledge our failings. Humans have a lot of these.

Frankly the only reason I waded through the film was my hope that Bill Murray would redeem it all at the end (when he finally showed up) by coming out to face the audience and say, "What in the hell are you all still doing here? Can none of you see the Emperor has no clothes? Did you all seriously spend all this time... time you can never get back... thinking this film has some meaning? Go home you pathetic sophomoric lemmings!" ...or something like that... but even he sold out and actually tried to go through his lines.

No, matter and material value are not arbitrary and no, pennies can never be made of gold. Jarmusch shows a complete lack of understanding what economics actually is. Economics is the study of optimising the use of limited resources which have alternative uses. The global gold reserve is limited, it is not infinite. You can't turn the world upside down just because you don't understand how it works and why it works the way it does. It is not "fundamentally broken" and we cannot "all agree to that."
