The Dead Don’t Die (15)
Dir. Jim Jarmusch, US, 2019, 105 mins.
Cast. Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Buscemi.
Set in the fictitious sleepy middle-America town of Centerville, acclaimed director Jim Jarmusch assembles his largest celebrity cast yet to take on the undead in this zombie-comedy. Polar fracking has thrown the Earth off its axis, day and night hours are unpredictable and the dead are rising from their graves to feast on the locals. The fight to survive is led by three police officers (Murray, Driver and Sevigny) but by the time they realise the real need to fight back it might be too late. The film oozes signature Jarmusch comedy and dead-pan one liners and a subtle critique on American culture and materialism. In the words of nerdy cop Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver) ‘this isn’t going to end well’.
