Biography
Jim Jarmusch (b. 1953, Akron, Ohio), Nicholas Ray's student at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, is considered a leading personality of American independent film, a director with a clearly defined creative style. Nevertheless, European cinema has had a considerable impact on his work. After his successful debut Permanent Vacation (1980), he shot Stranger Than Paradise (1984), which collected prizes at the Cannes, Sundance, and Locarno festivals. In his minimalist comedies, full of self-deprecating detachment, he addresses the tensions between differing cultures, as well as feelings of alienation and the loss of traditional values. Mystery Train (1989), Dead Man (1995), and The Limits of Control (2009) screened to Karlovy Vary audiences, as did Broken Flowers (2005), which took the Grand Prix at the Cannes IFF. He expanded his genre range with the vampire romance Only Lovers Left Alive (2013).
