When The Music Is Better Than The Movie

by Bob Boilen

There's a new film by Jim Jarmusch called The Limits of Control. The film is a meditation of sorts -- the polar opposite of an action film. I liked much about it, but what I liked best was the music. It not only made the film work; it was the best part of the film for me. Much of it was by this Japanese band, Boris:

It also features music by an American group called Sunn O))), which produced sounds that were droning, spacious and on the edge. So, what films have you seen where the music was better than the movie?
