Deadpan Walking: The Early Films of Jim Jarmusch
The seismic shift in American independent cinema during the 1980s introduced the world to exciting new visionaries like Julie Dash, Spike Lee, John Sayles, and Steven Soderbergh, among others. But it was Jim Jarmusch’s eccentric view of the country’s fringes that were most uniquely of the moment. His deadpan tales of nomads, miscreants, and troublemakers feel otherworldly by comparison, existing outside the boundaries of Hollywood while also seeking to revise and reshape many of the genres Tinseltown has helped popularize.
In honor of the release of FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER (opening Jan. 9), Jarmusch’s Golden Lion-winning new film, Digital Gym Cinema is proud to present a 6-film retrospective entitled “Deadpan Walking: The Early Films of Jim Jarmusch,” featuring an unforgettable group of American masterpieces in 2K and 4K restorations.
