Review of Stranger Than Paradise (1984) by Dave K — 01 Feb 2009
Minimalist cool, avant-garde comedy. Director Jim Jarmusch's use of long takes and slow fades to black punctuates the humor of his characters' boredom, ennui, and frustration. John Lurie is brilliantly understated in the lead role, together with Richard Edson and Eszter Balint.
