Jim Jarmusch - USA – 1984 – fiction – black&white – 88’ – OV – STT FR / NL
A young Jim Jarmusch directs this accomplished film, at once laconic and funny. A young Hungarian woman turns up in the New York apartment of her cousin and his equally clueless mate. The three head for Cleveland, where Eva’s aunt lives, and then she leaves again, after an existential and geographic road movie where love timidly shows its face. The black-and-white photography is by Tom DiCillo, and it’s perfectly suited to Jarmusch’s charming brand of minimalism

A brilliant Robert De Niro plays the champion who wins in the ring while his private life disintegrates. Michael Chapman’s black-and-white photography is rich in contrasts and the fight scenes, filmed with rare intensity, are among the best ever.
