Episode 66: Stranger Than Paradise (1984)
I revisit Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise, a film that surprised me with how strongly it connected to memories of my own early twenties. More than a traditional plot, it’s about drifting, friendship, boredom, adventure and those strange little moments that stick with you years later.
In this episode of Dave’s Movie Diary, I talk about Jarmusch’s unique style, the unforgettable characters, and why this simple black-and-white film ended up being one of the most evocative movies I’ve watched in years.
