  • King Of New York (1990)
    Review preview for King Of New York

    Overall, King Of New York is distinguished from similarly themed films by its willingness to embrace the gangster genre's exploitative nature; it's as shallow as a puddle but it's riveting viewing all the same.

  • Night On Earth (1991)
    Review preview for Night On Earth

    It's largely in Jarmusch's preferred genre of tittering, offbeat comedy, though, and he conjures up some brilliant scenarios and characters.
