Jarmusch: Not necessarily. When I travel and come to a place that I have never had, I just drauflos. I've never had a set route. If I saw something of what interested me, I look at it myself. Then I go on until something attracts my attention. I like it, the orientation to lose.

It is the task of art, their true importance to recognize and appreciate. The film is very quiet, a still life is on the other. The narrative pace that fits the character, which entirely rests in itself. So it must be the hero gives the rhythm, he is the clock

blogs ONLINE: Isaach de Bankole moves incredibly precise and elegant.

Jarmusch: With the precision of a robot and with the grace of a cat. Each step that he makes, it must show how well he is in his body feels, how balanced and this man is sovereign. His clothes seem to cling to him like a second skin. From top to toe, he is one incarnation of self-control. But in the end he prefers to dress and casual dresses. He skins, and suddenly comes a very different nature to light.

Jarmusch: Yeah, just look at how Lee Marvin in the thriller "Point Blank" by John Boorman moves because you feel every step of his determination and his air of subdued anger laborious.

blogs ONLINE: De Bankole face recalls in "The Limits of Control" to that of Marvin. Could he a member of the "Sons of Lee Marvin" to an exclusive circle, which you many years ago, together with Tom Waits have established? Inclusion criterion is great physical resemblance to the late 1987 Star.
