The house full of retro-recording and audio gear was just too much.
The whole soundtrack is pretty remarkable, but when the first scene opened with this remake of the old Wanda Jackson rockabilly song...I was a goner:

And...after seeing "Snowpiercer" who thought I'd ever consider Tilda Swinton to be a goddess, but there it is. The blonde says I had this dopey grin on my face the whole time. |
I'm a particular fan of Jim Jarmush. He may be America's best current filmmaker. Also, soundtracks are one of his greatest strengths. Neil Young's "Dead Man" and The RZA's "Ghost Dog" are good examples.
