Paterson (Jim Jarmusch 2016) w/ Josh Cooley (Filmmaker)

Mar 11

Felicia is joined by Josh Cooley to discuss Jim Jarmusch’s meditative story about a small town poet in Paterson (2016).

We chat about Jarmusch’s interest in telling the stories of every day people and why mundanity can make for a compelling story.

This is the first episode of the Jarmusch series and I think a great film to showcase how he has still maintained his craft and ability to tell a meaningful story throughout his career.

Send us your thoughts on the episode - do you have a favourite poet? Let us know by sending us a message on any of our social platforms or by email: seeingfacesinmovies@gmail.com
