a review of 帕特森

Paterson is a cinematic tribute to the poetry of everyday life. The film portrays the daily routine of a sympathetic, down-to-earth bus driver, in a typical Jarmusch rhythm. That rhythm is recurring in all kinds of ways, from the painted and baked patterns of his artistic girlfriend to the meditative repetition of the daily bus rides. The charismatic Adam Driver (what's in a name) steals your heart as the disarming, mild-mannered bus driver, and the soothing music, and of course the written poetry, complete the tranquil, timeless atmosphere.
