A series of short films connected by the presence of the titular vices.
* * *
All filmmakers (regardless of skill) have recurrent themes, images and ideas in their work. Alfred Hitchcock's films often center around guilt and mother issues, Michael Bay's work centers around explosions and breasts. Due to the the unavoidable years that elapse between films, these commonalities often go unnoticed by most audiences. But when a filmography is viewed in somewhat rapid succession (say over the course of a week or a year) the similarities become glaring. By placing these 11 shorts back-to-back within a single film, director Jim Jarmusch effectively laid bare all of his interests and obsessions for the world to see.
