1er film de Jarmusch, et on reconnaît déjà son style, forcément moins développé et peaufiné que ce qu’il pourra faire par la suite, mais je trouve ça quand même pas mal impressionnant de voir à quel point il a vite trouvé sa patte. Après, ce qu’il manque ici par rapport à ses autres films, c’est le développement de ces persos et de son environnement on est un peu moins attaché à eux, et je pense que c’est possible de rester en dehors du film.
