the american landscape seemed so familiar. the images reminded me of the edges of the city that i lived in- the interiors of cars, the suburban homes, the back streets, the motels and really big american cars. and the characters were dislocated, lonely, longing.
was apprehensive in the beginning with the 'single shot - black screen - single shot' structure.. or the three part 'new world'; 'one year later'; 'paradise' form, and all the stark black and white with synch sound ..
got over that quickly - thankfully.
Jim Jarmusch's 'Stranger Than Paradise'
