    5.0 out of 5 stars It's an art film: YOU engage it, it doesn't engage you...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    My brother and I love African accents that are used in over the top rage, one of the quotes we two just love to repeat was the line said by the actor who plays this film's main character, the lone man, Isaach De Bankolé, in Casino Royale: "YEW THOTT YEW COOD LOOZ OLL THOTT MUNNY AND NO-WON WOOD NOE-TISS?!", I'm laughing now and just shouted it in full vigor at my brother and now he's laughing, but we're just weird like that, anyway I saw the trailer for this movie and thought 'No way! he has a lead role?!' now bear in mind, though I've seen and enjoyed Broken Flowers, also directed by this film's Jim Jarmusch (forgive me if I've misspelled it), I didn't know what I was in for. I was led by the film trailer to think that this film was about a stoic badass kicking ass and the stoic badass happens to be the "YEW THOTT YEW COOD LOOZ OLL THOTT MUNNY AND NO-WON WOOD NOE-TISS?!" guy, who offered yet more of his deep syrupy accent! So I waited...

    I finally got my hands on it! Cheated on my little brother by watching it first to see if he would enjoy it because he's more of a mindless action fan, who's only just hit the surface of wanting more substance from his cinema as he matures. It has been three weeks and I still haven't shown it to him for two reasons: One is because our man doesn't say much, in fact, the trailer didn't mislead me at all: Isaac is stoic as a bronze bust of Nixon...stoic as hell! And two is because my brother is simply not ready for a film like this unless he's ready to go to sleep for the night.

    This film is like the many images of the country side as the lone man rides the train, it moves at a smooth, steady, and unyeilding pace to a destination and once you get lost, you're flippin' lost. The film's reality is dreamlike: their are no named characters, themes are repeated through poetic coincidences, there are some small hints of the supernatural, the actions, tensions, and conflicts are subtle and choose not to stick out from whatever message you can derive from the film...REMEMBER! "from whatever message YOU can derive from the film"

    As Jarmusch himself said in the equally calm behind-the-scenes special features of this DVD (which I have to paraphrase because I don't exactly know how he said it verbatum) 'I think that what you don't know is more fascinating than what you do know' and he has executed just that and has hooked me successfully! As quiet and unassuming and poetic and beautiful as this movie is, I enjoy it by ripping it apart with my mind to find the truths the philosophies the real meat that's buried deep within its surreal exterior...this is art ladies and gentlemen, as the pope said "It is what it is..."

    Will you enjoy this? I don't know, it depends on how introspective you can get...to me, the film is beautiful, shot mainly in Spain, the sounds are hypnotic especially the scene where the performers rehearse their show in a dark club, the sound is just riveting! I watch it again and again, there is so much to speculate but I fear the day that I can figure everything out!

    5.0 out of 5 stars "Everything is subjective. Whatever that means..."
    Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    For anyone who is out there questioning whether this film does have a meaning and tells a story, or what that meaning or story is, you need look no further than the first conversation, where the protagonist ("The Lone Man", played by Isaach De Bankole) is apparently receiving an assignment, in Creole, from his new employer, or an agent of that employer (Alex Descas, simply credited as "The Creole"). The Creole's words are translated by a Frenchman ("The Frenchman"–Jean-François Stévenin), but only after they have been delivered up to us viewers by means of subtitles.

    "Use your skills and your imagination," says the Creole. "Everything is subjective."

    "Everything is subjective," says the Frenchman. "Whatever that means."

    The Creole scolds the Frenchman, tells him not to add anything. But was the Frenchman really adding anything? Might it not have been a hint to take that confusing, overly intellectual word "subjective" and cast it in its most powerful, liberating and revolutionary form? Read the words again, with altered punctuation and emphasis:

    "Everything is subjective, WHATEVER that means." In other words, as long as it has meaning to you, it is true.

    Another question: was the Frenchman addressing his remark to the Lone Man? Or to the viewer? To you?

    You see, because I've got an explanation of what this movie means, and to me it means a lot, a whole lot. The more I watch it, the more it becomes a personal movie for me, the more I enjoy identifying with the Lone Man and begin to see his quest as my own quest. I'd love to share it with you, and maybe one day I will share it with someone, but what I wouldn't bother to do is defend it.

    Jim Jarmush may have made better films than this in the past, he may make better films in the future, but this is his most perfect piece of art, and it is a gift to all his viewers, like some pencil sketch on canvas of a massive El Greco painting intentionally left unfinished and unstated, as a gift to the world, that we may paint it as we like with the colors we see fit to give it meaning.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An odd, serious and very mysterious story. NOT a comedy despite Bill Murray
    Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This movie is quite puzzling and it will NOT be everyone's cup of tea. Ultimately, it creates more questions than it answers and will leave you scratching your head, saying, "huh?" That said, the cast all turn in solid performances - even Bill Murray as a bad guy - and it is a beautifully shot film, with good production values. I enjoyed it, but I like weird, quirky unconventional films. And this certainly is one.

    Jim Jarmusch artistic eyes directs de Bankolé at the appropriate pace of a torrid summer Spain in this thriller.
    Background mysterious synth music well chosen.
    Unlike any other movie I know.
    Go figure it out. There are limits ot what you can control!
    it's all in your eyes and in your mind.
    Make you wish visiting those beautiful arid places of southern Spain.
    The antithesis of the Bourne-Damon Series, pacewise!
