Léa Rinaldi knows how to observe, which is not the same as watching (that’s an action that deserves the category of subgroup) nor registering or filming (a subgroup within the subgroup). She proves this in Esto es lo que hay –which this year competes for the Human Rights Award in Bafici– addressing a complex issue and observing from variable and always precise distances. But she proves the point more clearly in this diptych dedicated to J. J.: Behind Jim Jarmusch (a shooting journal of The Limits of Control) and Travelling at Night with Jim Jarmusch (same genre only applied to Only Lovers Left Alive). These films work perfectly together not only because they document Jarmusch’s work, but also because the first one develops explanations the second one already gives for granted in order to focus on an intimate and atmospheric portrait. Rinaldi’s two-timed depiction of Jarmusch achieves what almost no making-of work does: it adds value to the films it’s attached to and become an honest and generous way into the depths of a film shooting.
