The film has incidents rather than plot: disruptions, minor mishaps, happy accidents. How Jarmusch takes this match-stick house of nothings and fills it with such calm and wisdom is a mystery with only one real answer: he’s an artist.

Indieikonet Jim Jarmuschs nostalgiske kærlighedsdigt til hverdagen er selve essensen af ordet livsbekræftende og en tiltrængt sjælelindring at starte året på efter et 2016 fordunklet af død og dystopi.
