BOOK

Sara Piazza’s “Jim Jarmusch – Music, Words and Noise” (Reaktion Books, London 2015) is the first book to explore the cinema of independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch from a sound-oriented perspective.
The book is enriched by many interviews collected over a period of about ten years, including conversations Ennio Morricone, Lucy Sante, John Lurie, Roberto Benigni, Marc Ribot, Masatoshi Nagase, and Jim Jarmusch himself.

“This book is an essential companion to the cinema, music and poetry of Jarmusch, and is accessible to both devotees of the filmmaker and newcomers to his work. It will be of interest for film scholars and students, cinema and music lovers alike. The book is accompanied by a dedicated website that includes extra information, images, an original guitar transcript from Marc Ribot, as well as audio extracts from interviews with such figures as Mulatu Astatke, Gary Farmer, Nick Zedd and others.”
