Ghost Dog: The Way Of The Samurai

INTRO & Q&A W/ THE RZA

A lingering, existential caper that sees Forest Whitaker take the lead as an oracular, iambic, hobo-come-hitman, Ghost Dog... plays out like an inner-city Western; like an offbeat action romp; like an astral, elegiac, gangster flick.

Directed by the magnificent Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Broken Flowers, Down By Law), Ghost Dog... is an urban exposition of epical dialogue, carrier pigeons, trashy banter, botched assassinations, comedy kung fu, geriatric mafiosi, rooftop bunking and warrior swordplay: a knockout flourish of cultural discord and odd minutiae that’s profound, bizarre and quietly brilliant.

The Triptych screenings lunge forth replete with an exclusive Q&A from hip-hop top dog the RZA, who penned the movie’s killer score; and whose on-screen Cameo invokes one of Ghost Dog’s myriad, tiny, daftly enigmatic wonders.
