A low-budget breakout film that wowed critics and audiences on its
initial release, Stranger than Paradise would prove to be a seminal
film in the new American independent cinema movement and establish
its director, Jim Jarmusch, as a hip, cult auteur. Taking
inspiration from 1960s underground filmmaking, international art
cinema, genre cinema, and punk culture, Jarmusch's film provides a
bridge between midnight movie features and a new mode of quirky,
offbeat independent filmmaking. This book probes the film's
production history, initial reception, aesthetics, and legacy in
order to understand its place within the cult film canon. In
examining the film's cult pedigree, it explores a number of threads
that fed into the film - including New York downtown culture of the
early 1980s and Jarmusch's involvement in music - as well as
reflecting on how the film's status has developed alongside
Jarmusch's subsequent output and reputation.
