Paterson (Adam Driver) is a bus driver in Paterson, New Jersey. His life is regulated clockwork: he drives the daily route; he writes poetry into his notebook; he walks the dog; he stops in a bar; he drinks one beer; he goes home to his wife. Laura, his perfect match, is just the opposite, ever-changing with her dreams and newfound ambitions. The poetic film observes a week in their lives.
"In PATERSON, Jarmusch examines what makes a life worth living, encouraging his protagonist (and maybe the audience) to do the same." (Screendaily)
"… is a delight: a prose-poem of gentle comic humility and acceptance of life. It is about that rarest of things in art as in life – a completely happy marriage. (…) he [Jarmusch] is a film-maker who is intensely American, without being Hollywood." (The Guardian)

„Der neue Film von Kultregisseur Jim Jarmusch widmet sich mit viel Liebe zum Detail und gewohnt lakonischem Humor seinen skurrilen Figuren, allen voran dem von Shootingstar Adam Driver verkörperten Feingeist Paterson.“ (Verleih)

Biography: Jim Jarmusch, born 1953 in Akron/Ohio, moved to New York City at the age of 17. He graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in English, class of 1975. Without any prior film experience, he was accepted into the Tisch School of the Arts, New York. His second feature film, STRANGER THAN PARADISE (1984), put him on the map and established him as new voice in cinema. Renowned as an independent filmmaker, director and actor, he has evolved as cult figure in cinema of the 20th and the 21st century.
