Review of Stranger Than Paradise (1984) by Giano P — 23 Mar 2010
A quiet indie that contains emotions and messages that speak so loud to the audience, it'll be in your head even until the end credits roll.
It tells the story of three people bored in a ghost town of a USA backdrop and heads for many different places to see something remarkable. When one tries to go back home to a European country, they all realize that remarkable is not in another place but in each other's company.
My review sounds cheesy but the film feels so real that I truly felt what was happening. Jim Jarmusch's black and white feature is something to ponder on... and after seeing it, it sticks with you. Call it a masterpiece, call it an indie cinema groundbreaker, but never underestimate such a beautiful film. Applause to the three central performances, to the cinematographer and to the distinct direction by one of the greatest independent film directors who never neglected his bandwagon.
If you haven't seen it, see it at once!
