‘Paterson’ Trailer: Adam Driver Is A Driver Named Paterson In Paterson, New Jersey
By Angie Han/Sept. 29, 2016 3:30 pm EST
The title refers to both the main character and the location of the movie. Driver is Paterson, a bus driver in Paterson, NJ. Under his unassuming exterior burns a bright, creative soul: he spends his free time writing poems that he declines to share with the world, despite the loving encouragement of his wife (Golshifteh Farahani). Paterson follows its protagonist through the ins and outs of daily life, culminating in a very minor tragedy that threatens to disrupt his comforting routine. Watch the Paterson trailer below.

I caught a screening of Paterson for the New York Film Festival, and will have a full review of it up soon. For now, though, suffice it to say this is a lovely and unusual picture. It might take you a while to ease into its rhythms (it did for me), but it’s worth the trouble. The entire film rests on Driver’s shoulders and he uses that opportunity to remind us yet again why he’s so in demand, turning in a subtle and sympathetic performance that’s miles away from his glowering role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens or his troubled one in HBO’s Girls.
Paterson is in theaters December 28.
