The title of the film is "The Limits of Control", and it is really a test of your endurance.
There are two types of films: storytelling and imagery. Unfortunately, I'm someone who's used to classifying movies as feature films, so the more I watch, the more confused I get. It turns out that this is an image-type film, stream of consciousness. You can't understand this kind of film without reading a lot of introductions and film reviews. The director of this film has eliminated the...

It seems "stuffy" but it is actually very good to see
There is no story, but there is no lack of suspense. You know that the male protagonist must have a mission, and if there is no accident, he will kill, although you do not know the specifics; there is no plot, but it is not boring, because there is indeed something that leads you to keep watching. Maybe everything is an illusion or a dream, you see: Except for the person who the male protagonist...

"The Limits of Control" Review
I thought about why I was suddenly obsessed with Jarmusch.
Because he always stands at a height that is enough to despise the whole world, and takes pictures of what he likes; the whole world says that it is obscure, profound and even difficult, and he smiles, ignorant crowd.
I love that he ignores the mostly idiotic audience and treats his films with willfulness.
In front of his films, I felt like I was still in kindergarten.
"The Limits of Control" was filmed by Du Kefeng,...

Creole: Good.
French: Good.
Violin: Are you interested in music, by any chance? I believe that musical instruments, especially those made out of wood - cellos, violins, guitars, I believe that they resonate, musically, even when they're not being played. They have a memory. Every note that's ever been played on them is still inside of them, resonating in the molecules of the wood. I guess, like everything, it's just a matter of perception, no?
Mexican: The old men in my village used to say, everything changes by the colour of the glass you see it through. Nothing is true. Every thing's imagined. Do you notice reflections? For me, sometimes the reflection is far more present than the thing being reflected. Are you interested in hallucinations, by any chance? Have you ever tried peyote? Do you know who the Huicholes are? They wear mirrors around their necks. And they play violins. Handmade violins. With only one string.
