Stranger Than Paradise (1984)

Cast : John Lurie, Cecillia Star, Danny Rosen
Director : Jim Jarmusch

Jim Jarmusch's second feature, 'Stranger Than Paradise' obviously not a film for everyone. It's very bleak and draggy. Indeed, it is. Shot in black and white, without dramatic resolution. It also full of a long pause. The acting is somehow vapid. But, i love it. Love it. Apparantly, this flick even haunting me for a long time after. It's more than i can ask of a good movie. Being haunted.

Mentioning, Willie and Eddie, who take their poker winnings to travel to Cleveland to visit Willie's cousin Eva. After then, they decide to continue their so-called vacation to get into Ohio. This film focussing a mundane life and how each characters can deal with it.
