Being a bus driver was significant – time to listen and look and reflect on life’s daily round. And W C Williams was a doctor after all, then poet. The charm of the film lay in the supporting cast, however. Lots of individuals who experience no big dramas or catastrophes in their lives but small, even puzzling, incidents. Jarmusch seems to deconstruct various archetypal scenes from the movies, i.e. the gang in the car would be expected to rob or kill Paterson, or at least the dog, and the jilted lover to have a real gun, in most movies. Simply a refreshingly different work.
