Next up in the Iconic Scores screening series is Ghost Dog: The Way of The Samurai!

 

This eccentrically postmodern take on the hit-man thriller finds director Jim Jarmusch combining his love for the ice-cool crime dramas of Jean-Pierre Melville and Seijun Suzuki with the philosophical dimensions of samurai mythology. In one of his defining roles, Forest Whitaker brings a commanding serenity to his portrayal of a Zen contract killer working for a bumbling mob outfit, a modern man who adheres steadfastly to the ideals of the Japanese warrior code even as chaos and violence spiral around him.

 

About the score: The soundtrack features an original score by RZA (his first film score)! And also features tracks from Wu-Tang Clan, Killah Priest, and Public Enemy.
