‘Paterson’ Clips: Adam Driver Just Wants To Drive His Bus And Drink His Beer

Watch the first Paterson clips below.

The director responsible for Only Lovers Left Alive, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, and Dead Man didn’t exactly classify as Paterson as a “comedy” when he very briefly discussed the film, but he said there’s definitely “some funny stuff in it.” Some underplayed comedy is almost always expected from the filmmaker, whose sense of humor is definitely in the first of these two Paterson clips. The Girls and Star Wars: The Force Awakens star plays Paterson, a bus driver that lives in, yes, Paterson, New Jersey, which, according to the titular character, is nothing more than a coincidence.

Here are two Paterson clips (via ThePlaylist and Le Pacte):

Almost nothing but a focus on mood and character in these clips, which sounds about right for clips from a Jim Jarmusch film. The plot synopsis gives a little more insight into the plot than footage above does. The film’s “simple structure” is set over the course of one week, as Jarmusch shows the bus driver/poet’s “quiet triumphs and defeats of daily life.” Paterson’s wife (played by Golshifteh Farahani) sounds like a major part in the film, and hopefully, we’ll see more of her work in the film soon. A 2016 release date is expected.
