Film Synopsis
<p>The Limits of Control is the story of a mysterious loner, played by Isaach De Bankole, 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. Featuring Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton and Academy Award nominees Bill Murray and John Hurt.</p> <p>"A little like guided meditation with suggestions floated, waiting, left untethered. It's up to you to distill meaning -- which will leave some convinced the director is merely self-indulgent, and others deeply satisfied." <strong><span class="criticname">Betsy Sharkey</span> </strong><em><strong><span class="publication">Los Angeles Times</span> </strong></em></p> <p>"Like everything Jarmusch, The Limits of Control is calibrated for cool." <strong><span class="criticname">J. Hoberman </span><em><span class="publication">Village Voice</span></em></strong></p>
