    If you appreciate the delicacies of a quiet, slice-of-life dramedy that hinges on the edginess of minimal observations of routine life as an artistic examination then you are in for a delectable treat with the skillful and witty inflections of writer/director Jim Jarmusch’s whimsical and wry offering **Paterson**. Jarmusch, known for his quirky and sedated dramas that include the highly underrated 2005 Bill Murray ve…

    **A week with a bus driver, a part time poet.** The time Jim Jarmusch has struck back. He does not make films often, but those he makes are not easily forgettable. I don't think people hate his films, especially the grown ups. They know how hard the real life is and contents this filmmaker use for his flicks are not much different. But the thing is, in his style, adding a slight fun, romantic, poetic, all together…

    I will go out a limb here (and try not to cut the branch out from under myself) and say that I feel this is nearly a perfect movie. Oh, I don’t mean that it is one of the best of all time, or even that it makes my own top ten list. But rarely does a film live up so well to what it strives to accomplish. It is a quiet and gentle movie, full of love in nearly every scene. The two leads have great chemistry together.…

    On the face of it, there is nothing remarkable about this eponymous bus driver who might have been named after his town. He (Adam Driver) shares his home with wife “Laura” (Golshifteh Farahani) and their’s is an happy marriage. Each morning, he heads to his depot where he has the usual chat with his glass-half-empty colleague “Donny” (Rizwan Manji) before setting off driving route 23. She has prepared his sandwich fo…
