I have my tics and obsessions, and Ghost Dog in particular, as well as Jarmusch in general, is one of them.

Why don’t you drop us some lines about your Jarmusch obsession as a »Gastbeitrag«? I never managed to write abut »Night on Earth«…

Hagakure and Rashomon get mentioned, yes. And The Wind in the Willows!

(How embarrassing to ask you if you know that movie: not only did you blog about it, I also commented on that post! I have my tics and obsessions, and Ghost Dog in particular, as well as Jarmusch in general, is one of them.)

Of course I do. But as far as I know the book mentioned in »Ghost Dog« is Hagakure.

Do you know Jim Jarmusch’s “Ghost Dog”? The book “Rashomon” plays a role in it, and the “Rashomon Effect” is then central as well (as are gangster movies, cartoons, and pigeons, along with the way of the Samurai).
