The first time Jim Jarmusch came to Cannes was with his sophomore film Stranger Than Paradise, which played the Quinzaine in 1984. “We all shared one apartment that had no hot water, that was up the hill,” he recalls. “One day I had to be on TV and there was no water, so I had to shave with leftover tea.” Those days are long gone; Jarmusch is a fixture on the Croisette these days, and even had the dubious pleasure of opening it in 2019 with his Bill Murray-starring zombie comedy The Dead Don’t Die.
This year he arrived at the festival with a piece for Cannes Classics called The Return to Reason, a work-in-progress restoration of four films by American artist Man Ray shot in Paris during the early 1920s.
Featuring a live soundtrack by SQÜRL, the band Jarmusch formed with Carter Logan in 2009, it is essentially a concert movie featuring the hypnotic sounds conjured up in February this year, ranging from trippy, avant-garde drone to a more traditional, Stooges-style aural assault.
When Jarmusch and Logan sat down with Deadline to discuss the movie, the New York-based auteur revealed that he was using his trip to the festival to source financing for a new project that he hopes to start shooting by the end of this year.
