This 19-hour (!) home theater pick features Johnny Depp, rock stars and a ‘Stranger Things’ crowd favorite

Although his work is rarely a blockbuster, he is still one of the most respected directors of our time: author-filmmaker Jim Jarmusch has already collected countless rock stars in front of the camera. He propelled Johnny Depp in one of his best acting performances. And it’s been filmed with such diverse personalities as Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett and ’80s icon/Stranger Things actress Winona Ryder.

At the beginning of 2023, Jarmusch turned 70 and that is now celebrated with some delay in home theaters: Starting this week, there’s a new Jim Jarmusch Collection, combining eleven films from his critically acclaimed career into one set – including titles that have recently only been found on the second-hand market.

Consisting of ten Blu-rays and one DVD, the set offers over 19 hours of intelligent, quirky cinema – as well as extensive bonus material, including detailed documentation on Jarmusch. And if the “Jim Jarmusch Collection” isn’t enough for you: Exclusively in the Plaion Pictures store there is even a strictly limited Jarmusch complete edition.

Smoke, rock and reincarnation: this is the “Jim Jarmusch Collection”

From stubborn people and coffee addicts to Rogue One and Black Panther star Forest Whitaker as the samurai in this quirky thrillerghost dog: In the course of his work, Jarmusch has proven time and time again that despite his distinctive style, he still stands for versatility. His films often ignore ordinary narrative structures and are filled with a confident sociability. But what the characters do in Jarmusch’s calmly staged worlds is always surprising.

In addition to the parodistic mafia martial arts thriller “Ghost Dog” in the “Jim Jarmusch Collection” both the idiosyncratic and laconic western”dead mancontain. Johnny Depp plays a frightened man who is believed to be the reincarnation of an English poet. In addition to this critically acclaimed performance, the score helped the film gain cult status: the intoxicating music was improvised by rock legend Neil Young.

In general, the “Jim Jarmusch Collection” is rich in rock legends, so plays in the prison comedy”By law the experimental rocker Tom Waits in the leading role, the episodic filmMysterious train is packed with the greats of rock, soul, blues and jazz music, and with Year of the Horse AndGive me danger there are two music documentaries in the set.

Moreover, the “Jim Jarmusch Collection” is a kind of cinematic journey around the world: Jarmusch’s debut “permanent vacation for example, breathes the essence of New York City. The absurd hipster comedyStranger than paradise leads from the Big Apple to Florida. And Night on Earth tells of nightly escapades in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome and Helsinki. Among other things, “Breaking Bad” villain Giancarlo Esposito and Winona Ryder as a smart taxi driver are part of the party.

A real star dish also offers the oft-copied, never-matched cult classic”Coffee and cigarettes with weird, exciting, moving and funny stories, including with Cate Blanchett.

Bill Murray can also be seen at the Sophisticated Dialogue Festival, as well as in Broken flowers, a star-studded road trip that recently made its highly anticipated home theater comeback beyond the Jim Jarmusch Collection. But as a rare commercial hit from the director, it should not be missing in this box!
