Jim Jarmusch explores the boundaries of the samurai film in this movie set in late 1990s New York. The protagonist is the mysterious lonely hitman Ghost Dog (a critically acclaimed performance by Forest Whitaker), who moves with an almost magical lightness. RZA’s old-school hip-hop sound blends wonderfully with Jim Jarmusch’s understated style. Part of the Palme d'Or competition (Cannes Film Festival).
