Oh hey fellow Jarmusch fan, have you seen "Only Lovers Left Alive" yet? It is really really worth the watch. I promise. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1714915/

For those who are Rock and Roll fans and want a Jarmusch movie to watch (although sadly not streaming) I would highly suggest "Mystery Train" which is a 1989 film starring Steve Buscemi and Joe Strummer. There are other great rock n roll cameos and call backs throughout the film, and it's a great Saturday evening watch!

SO GLAD TO FIND OTHER FANS!

Unfortunately, no, I haven't seen it yet. Which also makes it have the distinction of being the only film of his I haven't seen. I have a code for directors I really respect, and that's that I either see the film in theaters, or I wait for the DVD before I download it. Of course, I buy it in the end too when I'm able. Actually, that time should be coming up soon, so I should look into it.

    A depressed musician reunites with his lover, though their romance - which has already endured several centuries - is disrupted by the arrival of uncontrollable younger sister.
The imdb listing said it was drama, horror, and romance. I don't recall there being any horror. Keep ears open for this one - the cynical one-liners about history and culture are hilarious.

Want to discuss, but do not want to spoil! I'll say this: John Hurt is a chameleon. He can take on any role.

I loved "Only Lovers Left Alive" -- I know lots of hubski lives in Detroit ecib b_b mk.

The scenes of Detroit as vampire and rock and roll wasteland must be seen.

That's playing at the arthouse down the street from me and my wife and we've been meaning to hit it. We better hurry...no spoilers!! :D

Yeah, it could disappear quickly.

Yes! And the whole dichotomy of Detroit and Tangier, the whole movie just left me so happy leaving the theater. The last vampire to make me that happy was Let the Right One In.
