Paterson (2016)
Country: US/FR/GER
Technical: col 118m
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Cast: Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani
Synopsis:
A week in the life of a bus driver poet from Paterson, N.J. We see him wake up with his beautiful Persian girlfriend, go to work, walk their English bulldog and snatch a nightly beer at a local bar.
Review:
Devoid of any real narrative in a conventional sense (characters do not really grow or change; there is one significant incident which barely ruffles the surface of the protagonist's zen-like composure.) Depending on your own leanings, this could be an irritant or a positive boon, and compared with some of the director's films, this one has an amiable charm and gentleness that will win many over. Not sure about the poetry, though.
