Paterson

Release date:December 28, 2016 (limited) Studio:Amazon Studios, Bleecker Street Director:Jim Jarmusch MPAA Rating:R (for some language) Screenwriter:Jim Jarmusch Starring:Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani, Helen-Jean Arthur Genre:Drama, Comedy Plot Summary: Paterson (Adam Driver) is a bus driver in the city of Paterson, New Jersey - they share the name. Every day, Paterson adheres to a simple routine: he drives his daily route, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield and overhearing fragments of conversation swirling around him; he writes poetry into a notebook; he walks his dog; he stops in a bar and drinks exactly one beer. He goes home to his wife, Laura (Golshifteh Farahani). By contrast, Laura's world is ever changing. New dreams come to her almost daily, each a different and inspired project. Paterson loves Laura and she loves him. He supports her newfound ambitions; she champions his secret gift for poetry. The history and energy of the City of Paterson is a felt presence in the film and its simple structure unfolds over the course of a single week. The quiet triumphs and defeats of daily life are observed, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.
