Stranger Than Paradise

New York City layabout Willie and his dopey sidekick, Eddie, get by on TV dinners and beer financed by haphazard card-sharking. Willie gets an unwelcome visit from his Hungarian teen cousin, Eva, but, just as he warms to her, she ditches him for her aunt in Cleveland. A year later Willie takes his best friend Eddie to see her; a visit that culminates with an eventful road trip to Florida.

Jarmusch's first and perhaps finest film is a tale of America through the eyes of immigrants and a story about the endless search for one's place in the world. One of the most important films in the history of American independent cinema and the winner of the Caméra d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
