Since the early 1980s, Jim Jarmusch has produced a handful of
idiosyncratic films that have established him as one of the most
imaginatively allusive directors in the history of American cinema.
Three of his films-Dead Man (1995), Ghost Dog (1999), and The
Limits of Control (2009)-demonstrate the director's unique take on
Eastern and Aboriginal spirituality. In particular, they reflect
Jarmusch's rejection of Western monotheism's fear-driven separation
of life and death. While these films address historical issues of
imperialism, colonialism, and genocide, they also demonstrate a
uniquely spiritual form of resistance to conditions that political
solutions have not resolved. The impact of Dead Man, Ghost Dog, and
The Limits of Control cannot be fully felt without considering the
multicultural sources from which the writer/director drew. In The
Jarmusch Way, Julian Rice looks closely at these three films and
explores their relation to Eastern philosophy and particular works
of Western literature, painting, and cinema. This book also delves
deeply into the films' association with Native American culture, a
subject upon which Rice has written extensively. Though he has
garnered a passionate following in some circles, Jarmusch remains
critically underappreciated. Making a case that this director
deserves far more serious attention than he has received thus far,
The Jarmusch Way thoroughly discusses three of his most intriguing
films.
