It's just not working for me.

Rating: 2/10 (30 July 2005)

There must be something that I am just not getting about Jim Jarmusch. I watched "Night on Earth" and "Coffee and Cigarettes" and feel the same way about both: So obviously constructed that there is no charme or intrigue and I never get absorbed into the movie at all. I like the let things speak for themselves and save my criticism until the end, especially with art and movies that have specific messages or intents. And I just don't get anything out of Jarmusch. Completely uninteresting characters and dialogue, a flat, constructed sense of humor that lacks any sophistication or uniqueness.
This is my rant. I still want to thank Jarmusch for making independent movies, it seems like a lot of people like them and that's great. I will still stay away though.
