Muukalaisten paratiisi

Stranger Than Paradise

It's filmmaking stripped down to the bare essentials, and it's where Jarmusch found his signature style, a deadpan approach that gives him room to maneuver from comedy to tragedy without blinking.

It's possible to look back now and see Jarmusch's first feature as the period piece it always wanted to be.

It is like no other film you've seen...

A bleak but mordantly funny portrait of three aimless characters who discover that paradise isn't such an easy place to find.

Shot in crisp black and white, the film is a series of 67 single takes punctuated by moments of black screen.
