Paterson, Jim Jarmusch`s latest feature film, takes a bow in front of the Romanian audience. They are invited to come watch the film in cinemas and enter by showing one volume of poetry at the entrance. On the day of its release, February, 16, at the Cinematheque, UNION venue, the audience will have the chance to meet a few poets such as Mircea Dinescu, Florin Iaru or Marius Chivu.
The cinemas that take part in the event are: UNION (February, 16, 19:00, February, 17, 19:00, February, 18, 19:00), Cinema Victoria – Cluj and Cinema Modern Suceava, since February, 16 and Cinema Elvire Popesco – starting with February, 21.
Paterson, one of the most beautiful films about poetry, renders the atmosphere of the “city of poets”, Paterson, New Jersey, as perceived by a bus driver. It`s the city where some writers come from: William Carlos Williams, a representative of the modernism and imagism in literature and author of the famous epic poem “Paterson”; another one is Allen Ginsberg, a central figure of the beat Generation. Allen Ginsberg` anthology, “Howl and other poems” was translated in Romanian by Petru Ilieșiu and Domnica Drumea. The latter confirmed her presence at the screening on Friday, from the UNION Cinematheque. The film also mentions Emily Dickinson`s poetry.
The William Carlos Williams-like poems from the film were written especially for this film by Ron Padgett, one of Jim Jarmusch`s favorite poets. Except for one, which belongs to the director himself.
Paterson was nominated for the Palme D`Or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, where it received a unique palm Dog award.
On Valentine`s Day, February, 14,
