Stranger Than Paradise (Jarmusch, 1984): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 9.10pm
This film, which also screens on July 13th, is part of the Big Screen Classics strand at BFI Southbank. You can find full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
A major landmark in American independent cinema, this unlikely
commercial hit remains one of the best films of the 1980s, noted for its
intense personal vision anchored by some remarkably easygoing humor and
John Lurie’s great performance. Jarmusch’s casual approach to narrative
remains one of his strongest virtues as a filmmaker. Stranger Than Paradise‘s
leisurely pace and apparently lack of action open up the film’s
hyperrealistic environment, giving the film an immersive experience akin
to getting lost in a great book.
