As the May 1 premiere of The Limits of Control draws closer, more and more details begin to emerge. In the press notes, Jim Jarmusch talks about key influences for the film:
"What would it be like if Jacques Rivette remade John Boorman's masterpiece 'Point Blank'? Or what if Marguerite Duras remade Jean-Pierre Melville's 'Le Samourai'? Michelangelo Antonioni looms large in my subconscious so he's probably there, but I wasn't thinking about him beforehand. I was obliquely thinking of Euro crime films from the 1970s and 1980s, like some of Francesco Rosi's work. These impressionistic inspirations floated through my head, in terms of finding a style rather than imitating these movies."
At the film's official Facebook page there are two exclusive one-minute clips from the film: "Blonde" and "I used my imagination". The Facebook page also reveals that "Limits" has an R rating "for graphic nudity and some language", and clocks in at 116 minutes.
The soundtrack has also been confirmed - go here for all the details.
