OF WEDNESDAY 10/1 ON SUNDAY 25/2
THE FILMTECA. Pl. town hall, 17
If there is one name in American cinema that fits the label of independent, it is that of Jim Jarmusch. Jarmusch's career started more than forty years ago and he has hit all the stops, from his first portraits of youth in those crazy early eighties, going through his reconstruction of almost all cinematographic genres (the cinema noir, the musical documentary, he western, samurai cinema, vampires, even zombie movies), all this inheritance of an aesthetic and a tone that links it with the counterculture of comics and rock and pop music that many have imitated with better and worse fortune over the years. But, especially, Jarmusch's cinema continues to shadow us with its delicate and poetic treatment, beyond the plot of each film, of cinematographic time. It's not so much what happens, like that tempo in which things happen and that immerses us in an intimacy that is very rarely achieved on a screen. In January we will see his first works: Permanent vacation [10 i 14/1], strangers in paradise [13 i 16/1], Down by law [18-19/1], Mystery train [23 i 28/1] and the tape of short stories night on earth [24 i 27/1].
