A Film by Jim Jarmusch

Paterson is a bus driver who works in the city of Paterson, New Jersey. Every morning he gets up early and kisses Laura, his wife, goodbye before leaving the house. Behind the wheel, he listens in on his passengers' conversations, and in his spare time he jots down verses in a notebook he always carries with him. His day revolves around fixed schedules and small gestures that repeat day after day. At night he walks Marvin, the family dog, and stops at a bar for a beer with the owner and other regulars. Jim Jarmusch directs the movie and wrote the screenplay, and Adam Driver stars as the lead alongside Golshifteh Farahani, who plays Laura.
