The New Jarmusch — Possibly Just Not My Film

Everything sits where it should and the moves are good, and there's still a sense he's simply got old.

Watched the new Jarmusch. Maybe I caught it in the wrong mood — everything sits where it should, the moves are good, and there's a sense he's simply got old.

Or it isn't my kind of film. It's on the "Coffee and Cigarettes" side of him, and I've never much cared for that side. I want the one who made "Paterson," or "Night on Earth."
