ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE

Jim Jarmusch

Jim Jarmusch (Akron, OH, USA, 1953) studied in Paris and New York, where he still lives and where he began his career in the downtown scene during the early 1980s. Right from the start, he became known as one of the highest exponents of American independent cinema, and in 1980 he directed Permanent Vacation, imposing his minimalist and ironic style. Following films include Stranger Than Paradise (1984) and Down by Law (1986), featuring Benigni and Tom Waits, and his later masterpieces  Dead Man (1995), Ghost Dog (1999) and Broken Flowers (2005), all of which competed at the Cannes Film Festival.
