Stranger than Paradise

1984 – 89 minutes – black & white – monaural

From director Jim Jarmusch (GHOST DOG, DEAD MAN) comes the story of two New York City friends (John Lurie and Richard Edson) who find their lives turned upside down when the attractive 16-year-old Hungarian cousin (Eszter Balint) of one of them pays a visit. What follows is a road trip first to Cleveland and then to Florida during which the trio lose their money but find their true identities. STRANGER THAN PARADISE is an example of independent filmmaking at its most inspired.

Director: Jim Jarmusch
Starring: Richard Edson, John Lurie, Eszter Balint, Cecilla Stark
