Description

Plays Tuesday, February 4 at 9:30 PM at the Michigan!

Presenting with an original 35mm print! Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise is an odd, low-key comedy about a trio of misfits--an everyday guy, his Hungarian female cousin, and his geeky best friend--who decide to take a road trip across the United States on the spur of the moment. Over the course of their voyage, they have both good and bad luck, meet a number of bizarre and interesting characters, and are frequently bored. Jarmusch tells his story very slowly and sardonically, which can alienate some viewers. However, those who want to meet him halfway will find Stranger Than Paradise an engaging and unique comedy, with a number of truly funny moments.
