CANNES, France - Leave it to Jim Jarmusch to put the dead in deadpan.
The writer-director brings his trademark laid-back style and delight in subverting genre to "The Dead Don't Die," a whacked-out zombie movie that, much to the filmmaker's surprise, opened the Festival de Cannes on Tuesday night.
"I never thought I'd be in Cannes at all; I especially didn't think so with this film," says Jarmusch, an appealingly relaxed silver-haired presence dressed in his usual all-black outfit with sunglasses to match.
