**Screenwriter:** Jim Jarmusch **Producers:** Richard Guay, Jim Jarmusch Co-Presented by **Synth History**! This eccentrically postmodern take on the hit-man thriller finds director Jim Jarmusch combining his love for the ice-cool crime dramas of Jean-Pierre Melville and Seijun Suzuki with the philosophical dimensions of samurai mythology. In one of his defining roles, Forest Whitaker brings a commanding serenity to his portrayal of a Zen contract killer working for a bumbling mob outfit, a modern man who adheres steadfastly to the ideals of the Japanese warrior code even as chaos and violence spiral around him. Featuring moody cinematography by the great Robby Müller, a mesmerizing score by the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, and a host of colorful character actors (including a memorably stone-faced Henry Silva), *Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai* plays like a pop-culture-sampling cinematic mixtape built around a one-of-a-kind tragic hero. **Picks from the Video Store** Take home ALL the Jim Jarmusch you can watch on Blu-Ray and DVD – We’ve got them all! *Stranger Than Paradise, Mystery Train, Limits of Control* **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
