Worst Foreign Director | 2010 | Jim
The Finnish movie, to which Man with Guitar (Sir John Hurt) refers, is The Bohemian Life (1992) by Director Aki Kaurismäki, a friend of Writer and Director Jim Jarmusch.
Several lines of dialogue spoken by The Blonde (Tilda Swinton) are taken from an essay Swinton wrote about film titled "A Letter to a Boy from his Mother".
The Lone Man visits the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid four times to see four paintings: The Violin (1916) by Juan Gris, Nude (1922) by Roberto Fernández Balbuena, Madrid desde Capitán Haya (1987-1994) by Antonio López and Gran Sábana (1968) by Antoní Tapies.
When The Blonde (Tilda Swinton) talks about a swooping bird in a room full of sand, she is referring to a scene in Stalker (1979).
The atmospheric music for the film was written by the Japanese band Boris.
"Blonde: Are you interested in films, by any chance? I like really old films. You can really see what the world looked like, thirty, fifty, a hundred years ago. You know the clothes, the telephones, the trains, the way people smoked cigarettes, the little details of life. The best films are like dreams you're never sure you've really had. I have this image in my head of a room full of sand. And a bird flies towards me, and dips its wing into the sand. And I honestly have no idea whether this image came from a dream, or a film. Sometimes I like it in films when people just sit there, not saying anything."
"American: How the fuck did you get in here? Lone Man: I used my imagination."
