Overview
- The film screened in the 82nd Venice Film Festival’s main competition, marking Jarmusch’s first time competing there.
- Structured as three interlinked episodes set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, the director characterized it as a minimalist, “anti‑action” work.
- The cast includes Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat.
- Jarmusch said he is disappointed by Mubi’s relationship with Sequoia Capital and partners tied to Israeli defense and intelligence, noting his distribution deal with Mubi predated that arrangement.
- New York state financing shaped production logistics, requiring the first episode’s location to be within 30 miles of the city, which he set at about 29.5 miles.
