The Criterion reissue in 2020 included a bonus disc with plenty of text set in the Jarmusch font. For example, here is one that discusses RZA, who composed the soundtrack.

I couldn't find a close substitute but I trust that among the vast number of handwriting fonts at least one of them might work as an approximation.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Did not find an exact match.
Times Now ExtraLight is similar.
The titles were designed by Balsmeyer & Everett Inc. The titles are set in a custom font based on Jim Jarmusch’s handwriting.

Custom numbers for the barcode.
Looks like it's based on an old metal typeface, Ludlow Tempo Medium of 1930.

Serifs added to _1_, _2_, _4_ and _7_. More curve in _6_ and _9_.
Not digitized except for an unsatisfactory Grunge version by Steve Jackaman
Suggested font: Tempo

Agree there does not seem to be a digital version.
Closest for most letters might be a Garamond, such as Bitstream's Elegant Garamond. But serifs are not as pronounced. _P_ has a gap and _C_ lacks the serifs. Similar _C_ found in Baskerville and Bodoni.

PUSH looks like the letters below, but with width expanded about 200%.
They seem to match Six Caps by Vernon Adams:

Christian Robertson is now a designer for Google -- notably Roboto.
He has published some pro versions of his fonts on My Fonts.
Possibly he will do this with Calla Titling.

Duh. You altered your post before I finished writing my response.
Sorry didn't mean to jostle you. But I kept digging and the answer popped up.

Calla Titling
Calla Titling was designed by Christian Robertson at Beta Type. Was sold through Veer which has been defunct since 2016. Specimen shown in a Klingspor Museum pdf:

Custom leg on _R_. Pointed tip on _A_.
Custom script lettering for car nameplate. A few fonts are similar, but not a match, including Citadel Script
Bayside, sold as part of the Hoefler Numbers set.
According to Hoefler: Bayside is an adaptation of those delightfully eccentric house numbers that are native to suburban America. Their bizarre forms recall the “chinoiserie” of the Aesthetic Movement, a nineteenth century fashion whose romance with foreign influences wasn’t especially concerned with historical accuracy. Bayside’s forms are based on a set of numbers produced around 1928 by H. W. Knight & Son of Seneca Falls, New York. Widely copied by other manufacturers, these forms have gradually softened over the years; Bayside restores them to their loopy grandeur.
Your numbers are a later version and show minor differences from Bayside.
These were common in the US and Canada around 60 years ago. Here is a full set.

The _1_ can be used with the top and bottom reversed.
AFAIK they have not been made into a font.
Presumably address numbers. The curved thick to thin strokes are similar to "wonton" fake Chinese, such as Sudoku here at Dafont.

Looks like the 1960s psychedelic poster lettering of Californian artist Rick Griffin.
It inspired the font Rick Griffin.
