Film description

"It's hard to get lost if you don't know where you're going," is the motto of popular director Jim Jarmusch, which seems particularly apt here as he traipses through the streets of Seville as if through a labyrinth, followed by a camera that manages to be a discreet observer rather than a provocateur. If Jarmusch looks into its lens to share his reflections it is because he wants to. He is the one who engages director Léa Rinaldi, not the other way around, and he even seems self-conscious, at times, to have someone observing him while working. This is an exceptional occasion to play voyeur on Jim’s set, to regard his images and witness his moods:  at times he  acts like a pedantic control freak, only to appear withdrawn and absent at others. This documentary is somewhat reminiscent of its subject’s movies, and presents a rare opportunity to learn how he behaves on the other side of the camera.
