My favorite is Down By Law. I want to give The Limits of Control another viewing soon though.

Jarmusch is my favorite director and even I think Limits is mediocre at best. It's clever but the delivery isn't very good.

Despite all its negative reviews, I really liked the dreamlike, surrealist atmosphere of it. Give it another shot if contemplative films are your thing.
It's the worst Jarmusch though.

I was watching Man Seeking Woman and it appears in two different episodes. Once he mentions he wants to read it, but never does. Another time he leaves it on his nightstand to appear intellectual when he brings a date home.

This, the way she is packing those books really triggers my autism.

I really like Jarmusch but this was just him throwing out cultural nods and references. It was like tumblr the movie.

He suggests reading it to postpone going to a club that he's nervous about entering. The joke is basically "this is a long book and therefore will postpone the thing he doesn't want to do for a long time".

That's what I figured, but I think the heft of the book and the nonsense surrounding it were a part of why he never reads it. In the later episode he throws a bookmark into a random page. Love the show and the shorts it was based on. As far as adaptations go, it found a way to take a unique voice without shitting on source material.
