Of connoisseur interest only

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2005)

You can see why Jarmusch remains on the fringes, when you view these shorties that he bothered to shelve and then put together in a collection.
Apparently a German moneybags helped him make his modestly successful first feature, and evidently keeps him making pictures. These snippets are eminently forgettable to non-cognoscenti.
Andy Warhol managed to work the empty film to death, and Jarmusch here is working on a necrophiliac basis. The film does not focus for hours on someone sleeping, but the audience could contribute many cameos, methinks.
No doubt a cinephile could deliver a one-hour lecture on the multi-level meanings of this kind of movie-making, but I will not be present.
