Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Jim Jarmusch / JP, DE, FR, US, 1999 / 116 min.
Mysterious hitman Ghost Dog (Forest Whitaker) moves like a Black samurai with magical agility through late ’90s New York. The oldskool hip-hop sound of RZA is a wonderful match with Jim Jarmusch’s supercooled style. Another chance to see this cult classic, in a 4K restored version.
Jim Jarmusch explores the boundaries of the samurai genre in this film set in New York. The protagonist is mysterious, lonely hitman Ghost Dog (a highly praised performance by Forest Whitaker), who moves with almost magical agility.
In Eye and national theatres.
