Directed by Jim Jarmusch
Starring Tom DiCillo, Eszter Balint, John Lurie, Richard Edson, Cecillia Stark
(Jim Jarmusch, 1984, 89 min) With this breakout film, Jim Jarmusch became a standout voice in the independent film scene, known for his offbeat Americana style. He follows rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie), his pal Eddie (Richard Edson), and his visiting cousin Eva (Eszter Balint) as they drift from New York's Lower East Side to Lake Erie and Florida, making the least of every destination. Stranger Than Paradise is a deadpan comedy masterpiece, structured as master-shot vignettes in black and white by cinematographer Tom DiCillo.
