Episode 262 - Paterson

Jim Jarmusch is no stranger to low-key stories.  His new film, 'Paterson' is a chronicle of one week in the life of a bus driving amateur poet in New Jersey.  The acting is all around good, with Adam Driver embodying the main character in all his affable charm.  Andrew saw the film as a beautiful tribute to life's small moments.  Phil thought the film was precisely too small, and therefore not dramatic enough to stick in his memory.  A film can delight in small moments and also feature a compelling plot, which this film did not deliver.  Andrew challenged Phil to explain why he liked other slow-moving Jarmusch films, but not this one.   You can download the podcast here by right-clicking on the hypertext link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player attached to this post.
