A hitman with a warrior code. A samurai with guns. A movie with a vibe.  

Jim Jarmusch’s Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, starring Forrest Whitaker and featuring a score and soundtrack from hip-hop luminary RZA, is a strange and beguiling film. Its meaning elusive, it strikes a dreamy balance between genre tropes and the cool, off-kilter hangout style typical of its director.  

It tells of Ghost Dog, a killer for hire in late 1990s New Jersey whose strict adherence to the samurai warrior code keeps him eternally bound to his mafia masters. He walks alone through a nihilistic world, alienated from these modern times, meditating upon death and the philosophies of the ancients. When a job goes wrong, only a centuries old Japanese text, a dovecote of homing pigeons, and a local ice cream vendor who he can’t understand can keep him from the despair of the world and the desolation he inflicts. That, and some firearms training. 

See it at the Senate. See it on the big screen. It is the way.
