Gloria mundi

Paterson

Crit
Ah, a week in Jarmuschland-on-Passaic Falls, with a New Jersey bus driver/poet (Adam Driver), his artist/baker/country singer/dreamer Iranian wife, Laura (Golshifteh Farahani), and their troublemaking English bulldog Marvin (Nellie).

A poetic film about poetry and love and love poetry and the geography on which life happens. Even when catastrophe occurs, it occurs quietly, and with a smirk. This is the last 2016 film I expected to love, and I did.
