Cannes 2019: Jim Jarmusch, Bill Murray, Selena Gomez on The Dead Don't Die and what terrifies them
FirstpostWe all know zombie movies have never been just about zombies. Indie maverick Jim Jarmusch has now joined the Z-bandwagon with his latest film, The Dead Don’t Die, which premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival on 14 May. In the tradition of Romero’s zombie films, The Dead Don’t Die too is a futurist allegory, an end-of-the world tale with Jarmusch’s deadpan hipster spin. He comes at you in the daytime but dressed as darkness.” Jarmusch also uses the elastic zombie metaphor to address our culture of “commodity fetishism.” We see the undead moan and yearn for creature comforts — Iggy Pop’s zombie craves coffee; an alcoholic thirsts for Chardonnay; zombie teens aimlessly shuffle in search of Xanax and a Wi-Fi connection. When it was Murray’s turn, he cheekily answered, “I find Cannes terrifying.” The Dead Don’t Die had its world premiere at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
