Increasingly, the creators of the author's cinema in their tapes are moving away from the verbosity of the characters and a clear script. Kim Ki-duk, for example, generally claims that when creating a good picture, it is possible, or even worth doing without words. Perhaps, following this, some directors prefer scripts without prescribed replicas, giving all the will to improvise to their actors. What comes out of this can be seen from Lars von Trier's latest scandalous film "The Antichrist". And now - also from the new tape of the representative of the New York new wave Jim Jarmusch "Limits of control".

The main improviser here is Isaac de Bankole, unsurpassed in this role, an actor who starred in the director's previous films. His journey is a trance, during which he must complete the tasks set at the beginning, and is the core of the picture. The moment of travel - moving towards oneself, past oneself, into oneself - is a point of interest for Jarmusch and repeatedly occupies a key place in his previous films (both "Dead Man", "Night on Earth", and "Broken Flowers" (Cannes 2005). But despite the constant actual movement in the frame (trains, buses, cars, hiking, just body plastic), the development of the action is quite static.

The hero solves some problem hidden from the viewer's eyes, unraveling various logical puzzles, like Aymond Smallian's mathematical amusements "Princess or Tiger?" (in more detail: two rooms with signs on the doors contain a princess and a tiger; the hero can save the princess and his life, respectively, without entering the room with a tiger, by solving the inscriptions on the door signs with the help of logical reflections (where the truth is a princess, where the disadvantage is a tiger) and opening the door to the princess. For example, this: plate No. 1 "there is a princess in this room, and a tiger in the second", plate No. 2 "there is a princess in one of these rooms, in addition, a tiger is sitting in one of these rooms." So, which room is the princess in?).

But instead of such simple plates, the character is given only four paintings by Spanish modernist artists, matchboxes (red / blue) and random people who really like to talk about their hobbies, passions, reflections on existence after the code phrase, with all its anti-communicative intent: "you don't speak Spanish, do you?". Although there are really few replicas in the film. And those that are, basically make up a finite set of elements, as in a kaleidoscope, which appear in the course of action in various combinations.

Repetition is generally an important element of tape deployment. All components are subject to repetition (but not in the form of identical copies, but rather as a metonymic or metaphorical reinterpretation): the language, the appearance of the hero (three suits of the same cut with different color codes), his habits ("Two espresso in separate cups" - coffee, again, Jarmusch's autocitat with "coffee and cigarettes"), movements (special tai chi gymnastics, which the hero performs every morning, then appears as flamenco), urban and natural landscapes of Spain (just for the sake of this last film I advised you to watch!). Another important element is the reinforcement of the part. Actually, the film owes its name to attention to detail. This arises from the leading motive of William Burroughs' short story "The Limits of Control", from which the name is borrowed. Unhurried contemplation of details is one of the principles that Jarmusch laid down in the film: "To look at many things as if you were actually looking at a picture." His painting is quite ready for this.

This thickened extravaganza of the film is complemented by well-known and familiar actors for Jarmusch's tapes, whom you will not recognize (what is one Tilda Swinton - a cold blonde, and the long-awaited Bill Murray, so ubiquitous in Jarmusch's films), very skillful camerawork (thanks to Christopher Doyle, who in particular worked on Wong Kar-Wai's film "2046"), piercing music by the method of "Oblique Strategies" by Brian Eno, and - do not repeat it again - Spain as architecture, flamenco, nature.
