Exploring the director’s extensive filmography, including \u003ci\u003eStranger Than Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e (1984), \u003ci\u003eDown By Law\u003c\/i\u003e (1986), \u003ci\u003eDead Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1995) and \u003ci\u003eOnly Lovers Left Alive\u003c\/i\u003e (2013), Sara Piazza identifies the three essential acoustic elements that structure film: music, words and noise. Through this unique reading, she reveals how Jarmusch created a form of ‘sound democracy’ in film, in which the audible and visual are equally important and different acoustic layers can infiltrate each other. In his cultural melting pot, ‘high’ and ‘low’ coexist: Schubert and Japanese noise bands, Christopher Marlowe and Betty Boop, Bartók and the Wu-Tang Clan.\n\nJarmusch’s distinctive reputation, consolidated over the course of a 30-year career and created by drawing together music, cinema, visual art and literature, is deeply connected to his treatment of sound. Based in New York, Jarmusch was able to develop a fiercely personal vision far from the commercial pressures of Hollywood. This book features original, illuminating interviews with many prominent figures from the film, literary and music worlds, including Ennio Morricone, Luc Sante, Roberto Benigni, John Lurie and Jim Jarmusch himself.\n\nA fascinating account of a much-admired body of work, \u003ci\u003eJim Jarmusch\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal not only to fans of his work but to all those interested in the connections between sound and film.\n\n\u003cb\u003eTo visit Sara Piazza’s \u003ci\u003eJim Jarmusch\u003c\/i\u003e website please visit: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ehttps:\/\/jimjarmusch-musicwordsandnoise.com\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32076081201235,"sku":"","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781780234410_ddc8ac5e-1cd8-412f-9db8-074b26604494.jpg?v=1777118412","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/jim-jarmusch-music-words-and-noise","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
