#53 - Stranger Than Paradise

Directed by Jim Jarmusch
1984 Comedy/Drama
Rated R

****

Jim Jarmusch's 1984 Indie classic is shot in beautiful black and white, and seems almost like a comedic version of a John Cassavetes film; it's slow-moving, amateurishly acted, and shot mostly handheld. The charms of Jarmusch's dialogue manage to drag the film out of any slow spots it occasionally hits.
