Wednesdays: March 11th - Paterson March 25th - Grand Budapest Hotel April 8th -Brooklyn Tonight's feature: Paterson (2016, 115 mi, R) Directed by Jim Jarmusch, starring Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani, Nellie the dog 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. Paterson.1 A quiet observation of the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details. "Jarmusch's quiet spellbinder is intentionally small. It's also a small miracle." - Rolling Stone "Quiet, thoughtful and deeply human, this is one of Jarmuschs finest and features Adam Drivers best performance yet although you do risk coming out with a new affection for modernist poetry."- Empire
