The new movie from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch ("Broken Flowers," "Down by Law") is set in the striking and varied landscapes of contemporary Spain (both urban and otherwise). The location shoot there united the writer/director with acclaimed cinematographer Christopher Doyle ("In the Mood for Love," "Paranoid Park"). Isaach De Bankole stars in the lead role for Mr. Jarmusch; this marks the duo's fourth collaboration over nearly two decades, following "Night on Earth," "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai," and "Coffee and Cigarettes." The film also features several other actors with whom Mr. Jarmusch has previously worked, including Alex Descas, John Hurt, Youki Kudoh, Bill Murray, and Tilda Swinton; and actors new to his films, including Hiam Abbass, Gael García Bernal, Paz De La Huerta, Jean-François Stevenín, and Luis Tosar. "The Limits of Control" is the story of a mysterious loner (played by Mr. De Bankole), a stranger, whose activities remain meticulously outside the law. He is in the process of completing a job, yet he trusts no one, and his objectives are not initially divulged. His journey, paradoxically both intently focused and dreamlike, takes him not only across Spain but also through his own consciousness.

I am not one to jump on the Jim Jarmusch bandwagon merely because everyone else has. Jarmusch's last two films (Broken Flowers, Coffee and Cigarettes) were far from stellar efforts. However, The Limits of Control looks intriguing to the say the least and boasts a cast worth paying attention to. Give the trailer a peek and see what you think.

The Limits of Control was directed by Jim Jarmusch and the MPAA has rated it R for graphic nudity and some language.

The cast includes Isaach De Bankolé, Hiam Abbass, Gael Garcia Bernal, John Hurt, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Alex Descas, Jean-Francois Stevenin, Luis Tosar and Paz De La Huerta.
