Director Jim Jarmusch
Runtime 1 h 46 min
Release Date 20 September 1986

Not easy to watch, lots of long takes, and at some point – magic. These trademarks of Jarmusch are particularly clear in this movie, which is probably the best of him that I have seen. Very few movies have such a simple, yet powerful and nostalgic ending.
