Stranger than Paradise: A New World
lhmcm16 October 2022
Jim jarmusch's masterpiece Stranger Than Paradise began with this short. The film is genius because it is very philosophical and has a very convincing portrayal of being bored and feeling like trash. That's the main idea of the film - the main characters are just jobless bums with very little to do. They live off of gambling (Cheating at poker and winning bets on horse races).

But despite this, director Jim Jarmusch can make scenes of people just watching tv or walking through the street pure entertainment. From watching this short, it is clear that it had to turn into a full film. Any fan of film should watch Stranger than Paradise.
