SYNOPSIS
FR
Paterson vit à Paterson, New Jersey, cette ville des poètes - de William Carlos Williamsà Allan Ginsberg aujourd’hui en décrépitude. Chauffeur de bus d’une trentaine d’années, il mène une vie réglée aux côtés de Laura, qui multiplie projets et expériences avec enthousiasme et de Marvin, bouledogue anglais. Chaque jour, Paterson écrit des poèmes sur un carnet secret qui ne le quitte pas...
NL
Paterson woont in... Paterson, New Jersey, stad van dichters, van William Carlos Williams tot Allan Ginsberg, vandaag echter enigszins verloederd. Hij is een dertiger en buschauffeur en leidt een mooi georganiseerd leven aan de zijde van Laura, enthousiaste veelvraat van uiteenlopende projecten en ervaringen, en de Engelse Bulldog Marvin. Elk vrij moment is voor zijn geheime schriftje, waarin hij eigen gedichten neerpent.
EN
Paterson is a bus driver in the city of Paterson, New Jersey – they share the name. Every day, Paterson adheres to a simple routine: he drives his daily route, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield and overhearing fragments of conversation swirling around him; he writes poetry into a notebook; he walks his dog; he stops in a bar and drinks exactly one beer; he goes home to his wife, Laura. By contrast, Laura´s world is ever changing. New dreams come to her almost daily.
NOTE D’INTENTION DU RÉALISATEUR
PATERSON raconte une histoire tranquille, sans conflit dramatique à proprement parler. Sa structure est simple : il s’agit de suivre sept journées dans la vie de ses personnages. PATERSON rend hommage à la poésie des détails, des variations et échanges quotidiens. Le film se veut un antidote à la noirceur et à la lourdeur des films dramatiques et du cinéma d’action. C’est un film que le spectateur devrait laisser flotter sous ses yeux, comme des images qu’on voit par la fenêtre d’un bus qui glisse, comme une gondole, à travers les rues d’une petite ville oubliée.
JIM JARMUSCH – DIRECTOR
BIO
Jim Jarmusch has long been considered a seminal figure in American independent cinema. His films are often noted for their transcendent minimalism and upturning of traditional genres such as the road movie, western, crime-film, and detective story.
Born in Akron, Ohio, Jarmusch attended Columbia University where he studied literature and poetry with renowned New York School poets Kenneth Koch and David Shapiro. But it was a semester abroad in Paris frequenting the Cinémathèque Française that ignited Jarmusch’s passion for filmmaking. Upon his return to the US, Jarmusch enrolled in the esteemed filmmaking program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
There he assisted Hollywood legend Nicholas Ray and wrote and directed his first film, PERMANENT VACATION (1980). Set in downtown Manhattan, PERMANENT VACATION captured a moment in the cultural history of then-decaying New York, and the attention of audiences and critics alike, winning the Josef von Sternberg Prize in Manheim, Germany in 1980.
Jarmusch followed with STRANGER THAN PARADISE (1984), a journey through the American landscape taken by a young Hungarian woman, her American cousin and his friend. The film gained international acclaim and went on to win the Camera d’Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, solidifying Jarmusch’s place in the world of cinema.
DOWN BY LAW (1986) Jarmusch’s “neo-beat- noir-comedy” was a further exploration of America from the outside-in and marked the beginning of a long collaboration between Jarmusch and esteemed Dutch director of photography, Robby Müller.
In 1987 Jarmusch was the recipient of a German DAAD fellowship and spent half a year living and writing in Berlin. There he conceived the initial idea for his next film, MYSTERY TRAIN (1989), a kind of “minimalist’s version of the Canterbury Tales in which an Englishman, an Italian woman and a Japanese couple each make pilgrimages to Memphis, Tennessee.
WITH NIGHT ON EARTH (1991) Jarmusch turned his attention to moments often overlooked in cinema -- the taxi journey between places -- and shot entirely on location inside moving taxicabs in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Rome and Helsinki, with world- renowned actors from each city.
Jarmusch reinterpreted conventional genres with DEAD MAN (1995) and GHOST DOG: THE WAY OF THE SAMURAI (1999) and emerged with a “psychedelic western” and a hip- hop gangster samurai film which have since developed incredibly strong cult followings. In 2003 Jarmusch completed and released the critically acclaimed COFFEE AND CIGARETTES, a series of comic vignettes shot over the course of two decades, with an extremely eclectic group of extraordinary actors and musicians portraying an equally eclectic collection of oddballs.
BROKEN FLOWERS (2005) and THE LIMITS OF CONTROL (2009) each tell the story of two very different lone men. The former an aging “Don Juan” on a search through “Generica” for the writer of an anonymous letter informing him he has a son, and the latter a hit-man making his way through Spain to meet his mark. BROKEN FLOWERS went on to win the Grand Prix in Cannes in 2005.
