Watch Paterson
(2016)The film depicts the life of Paterson, a young man from Paterson, New Jersey, over the course of one week. Paterson's life is highly structured, and he wakes up at the same time every day without needing an alarm. His routine includes eating Cheerios for breakfast, carrying a lunch pail packed by his wife Laura to work, chatting with his coworker Donny, driving the #23 Paterson bus, and coming home to straighten the mailbox and walk Laura's English bulldog Marvin to the local bar for one beer before returning home. His observations of the world around him inspire him to write poetry, which he jots down in a secret notebook during his free moments. Paterson's writing is influenced by local poets like William Carlos Williams and is primarily for his own enjoyment, though Laura encourages him to share his work. However, a significant event occurs during this particular week that has the potential to disrupt Paterson's routine and change his life.
