Stranger Than Paradise
1984 · TMDB 7.1
Directed by Jim Jarmusch
New York layabout Willie forms an unexpected bond with his young Hungarian cousin Eva when she pays him a surprise visit. Later, Eva moves in with their aunt in Cleveland, and Willie takes his best friend Eddie to see her—a visit that culminates in a strange, eventful trip to Florida.
Why it matters
Jim Jarmusch's deadpan debut follows a Hungarian immigrant and his cousin as they shuffle between New York, Cleveland, and a frozen Florida. The road here is a series of non-events, each stop more anticlimactic than the last.
