Being and Time

Jim Jarmusch’s movie Paterson is an understated masterpiece that uncovers remarkable beauty in the simplicity of life. The story revolves around the experiences of Paterson, a bus driver and poet living in Paterson, New Jersey. While the film may appear uneventful on the surface it is this quietness that holds its charm. For those who appreciate reflecting on life through cinema, Paterson provides a thoughtful exploration reminiscent of the philosophies of Henri Lefebvre and Martin Heidegger.
