"The Limits of Control"
His face a chisled work of art, Isaach de Bankoli mesmerizes as the calm, observant outlaw in Jim Jarmusch's methodically moody crime story. A job leads the Lone Man to Spain, where he has a series of encounters and exchanges with enigmatic figures. Bill Murray makes a fascinating and rough appearance. Others playing well their inscrutable parts: Tilda Swinton, Hiam Abbass and John Hurt, to name a few. Flamenco star La Truco wows in a scene that reminds us how magical it can be -- like our mysterious guide -- to be a stranger in a strange land. R. 1 hour, 54 minutes.
