Paterson (2016)

A bus driver named Paterson - from the city of the same name - lives and observes his days in his special book of poems.

A beautiful, slow and captivating film about the simplicity of life. A true ode to the classical Greek philosophers, the film shows that you do not have to be simple to lead a simple life, you do not need all the latest modern things so that you become the slave of the times you live in, you don't always need witnesses and approvers to validate your special talents. The film presents the character during a marked whole week, where we see him satisfied, sufficient, only a tad disturbed when life almost forces him to give up his ideas, but immediately regaining his balance, an ability only made possible by his life philosophy.

Director/screenplay: Jim Jarmusch
With: Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani
