Welcome to Florida

Another great film by Jim Jarmusch. One of his first in fact. Stranger than Paradise (1984) helped to define the independent American cinema movement in the mid to late 80s. Before the term indie was used to describe any offbeat or quirky film, these directors were true independent artists who were not funded by massive corporations with Hollywood money, but nevertheless created intelligent, self-reflective films on a small budget as their little babies. Also, the woman Eva has this amazing nonchalant attitude while she travels across Florida with two hipsters from New York, its great.
