The TVI Take
Jim Jarmusch's 2016 film anchored by Adam Driver as a Paterson, New Jersey bus driver who writes poetry. The structural commitment to letting the week-of-routine cognitive material, same daily breakfast, same bus route, evening dog-walk, be the actual subject is canonical late-Jarmusch contemplative work.
Among the most-formally-disciplined poetry-as-cinema entries.
