The first movie I think of when I hear Jarmusch is Only Lovers Left Alive. When I first saw that movie, even as a massive Tom Hiddleston fan, I HATED it. I mean, I wrote a page long rant to a friend going on and on about how much I hated it. But it stayed in my head. Over the next couple of days, I would remember scenes that. . .maybe weren't all that bad. About a week later, I watched it again and fell in love with it. I think it was just that it was not at all what I was expecting it to be. Once I got past that, it became one of my favorite movies. I don't even know how many times I've watched it since. I really should check out some of his other work.
I think you’d like his other movies, then. I think as Indy directors go, he’s very accessible. I’m always surprised more people haven’t heard of him. Try his zombie movie, The Dead Don’t Die, but be warned, his pacing has always charitably been called “deliberate” and less flatteringly, “slow as hell.”
