I felt at such peace while watching this movie, and loved its serenity and simplicity. Adam Driver plays a bus driver named Paterson in Paterson, NJ who writes poetry, and he’s a quiet person who lives a very scheduled, average life with his girlfriend and their dog. He writes poetry for himself, not to be famous or to share with the world, and he loves observing people during his route or at the bar at night. His partner’s open artsiness complements his quiet artsiness. I love the little moments in this film, like when he chats with a guy (Method Man) working through some raps while doing his laundry at the laundromat, or smiling at people’s conversations on the bus, or just sitting outside eating his lunch and writing poetry. It’s a beautiful movie, and one of Jim Jarmusch’s best.
