Watch this when
Paterson
He drives a bus. He writes poems no one reads. And his life is quietly beautiful. 📓
Who it's for
Paterson drives a bus, walks the dog, has one beer, and writes poems in a notebook no one but his wife Laura reads, and the film treats each day's small variations with tenderness.
Feelings it meets
