“Paterson” is a simple and uneventful slice-of-life piece that follows a week in a bus driver’s life and at the same time shows that art and beauty lie in the simplest things. The film makes no statement and just shows the days repeating themselves monotonously, yet you can’t help feeling the warmth and lyricism of the images and sounds. Life might be pointless, maybe you won’t even find the right person or job for you, but art and expression can help you go through it. It doesn’t even matter if you are good at it.
The poems could be better, the running time could be a little shorter, but it worked perfectly as a healing film on a bad night.
