Review of Paterson

Jim Jarmusch's Paterson (2016) is a meditative experience that so often borders on the realm of a dream. Through interesting overhead shots and soft bounced lighting, we see everyday life through a change of perspective and through the eyes of the titular man who fittingly shares a name with the city in which he resides. The city is almost a character in itself providing the backdrop to the mundane, humdrum existence of Paterson (played exquisitely by Adam Driver). Another quiet masterpiece by JJ.
