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."--Back cover. 600 10 $a Jarmusch, Jim, $d 1953- $x Criticism and interpretation. 630 00 $a Stranger than paradise (Motion picture) 650 0 $a Cult films $x History and criticism. 830 0 $a Cultographies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212023307.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E277EC8840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
