The Limits of Control

A lone man (Isaach De Bankolé) travels to Spain on an important mission--the details of which are deftly obfuscated in this enigmatic film from writer/director Jim Jarmusch. As the stranger makes contact with other eccentrics (Gael García Bernal, John Hurt, Tilda Swinton, and others), the deployment of rituals, symbols, and other tantalizing inexplicables only deepens the mystery. With Bill Murray, Paz de la Huerta. 116 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English DTS HD 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes; theatrical trailer.
