Permanent Vacation (Jarmusch, 1980): Prince Charles Cinema, 3.45pm
This presentation is also screened on June 10th. Details here.
Time Out review:
Jim Jarmusch's 16mm feature debut, made not long after the
writer/director graduated from film school, is an oblique study of a
young man (Chris Parker) adrift on the streets of New York. As he roams, he
has chance encounters with a car thief, a saxophone player and a
grizzled war veteran, among others. Learning their stories, he begins to
seem more and more isolated. Even his relationship with his girlfriend
(Leila Gastil) is coming under strain. Perhaps the film doesn't have quite the
charm of its successor, Stranger Than Paradise, but Jarmusch's freewheeling episodic approach to storytelling is already evident.
