Even though not all Jim Jarmusch movies quite stick the landing for me, I’m always eager to check out what he has in store for us next, and Paterson is no exception. The film stars Adam Driver as Paterson, a bus driver in Paterson, New Jersey who enjoys writing poetry in his spare time. He’s happily married to Laura, played by Goldshifteh Farahani, who has lofty dreams and provides support for Paterson’s writing.
Amazon Studios and Bleecker Street will release Paterson in theaters December 28, 2016.
Here’s the new trailer via: Yahoo!
Paterson 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.
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 gift for poetry.
The film quietly observes the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.
