8 days and nights of Jim Jarmusch

[A scene from 1980's "Permanent Vacation"]

An 8-day retrospective of LES resident Jim Jarmusch starts tonight at the Film Society of Lincoln Center ... titled "Permanent Vacation: The Films of Jim Jarmusch."

From the description:

Over the course of a single-minded yet constantly surprising career that has now spanned more than three decades, Jim Jarmusch has become a beloved, forever-cool icon of independent American (and world) cinema. His movies combine a romantic wanderlust, a sense of humor both humane and deadpan, and a connoisseur’s appreciation of the highs and lows of art and popular culture (Elvis Presley, Yasujiro Ozu, and William Blake, for starters).

This complete retrospective — which includes 11 features and several shorts and music videos — leads up to the upcoming release of Jarmusch’s latest feature, Only Lovers Left Alive (a selection of the 2013 New York Film Festival, opening at the Film Society of Lincoln Center on April 11).

Here's one of the music videos that he directed ... "The Lady Don't Mind" by the Talking Heads from 1985...



Will be nice to see "Stranger Than Paradise" on a big screen (tonight at 7 and tomorrow at 1:30)...
