Stranger Than Paradise (Criterion Collection)

On the Lower East Side, the stagnant lives of shiftless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie) and his no-less misfit pal Eddie (Richard Edson) get an unanticipated jolt from Willie’s teenage cousin Eva (Eszter Balint), arrived from the old country en route to visit an aunt in Cleveland. An offbeat and engaging look at the American dream is delivered in Jim Jarmusch’s witty, starkly filmed "culture clash" comedy/drama. 90 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); interviews; theatrical trailers; more. Also includes the bonus feature "Permanent Vacation" (1980).
