In the sublime new film from Jim Jarmusch, Adam Driver gives a career-best performance as Paterson, a bus driver in the New Jersey city of the same name. He's also a poet, recording his daily observations and thoughts into a notebook. Paterson thrives on routine: he drives his bus route, he goes home for dinner with his wife Laura (Golshifteh Farahani), he walks his dog, he visits his local bar for one beer. By contrast Laura's world is ever-changing, with new projects and ideas striking her daily. The film quietly observes the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details. - Director:

With a cast of experienced British Sting talent headed by Sylvia Syms and a captivating performance by Donna Evans (now one of Hollywood's top stunt doubles, but then a promising young heroine) this grimy yet sleek hostage movie is far more than your standard slice of Soho sleaze, and like The Deadly Females, emphasises the director's gradual move from the tawdry British Sex Film towards social comment- with a hefty chunk of suspense thrown in. Shot in the leafy suburban Orpington, the story concerns two less-than-professional criminals, Ron (Derren Nesbitt) and The Boy (Alan Guy) who hold a family prisoner in their home whilst their colleagues simultaneously raid a local bank managed by the father (James Kerry) of course, being a British crime film, something has to go wrong, and with one teller (Gene Foad) dead, and the aforementioned accomplices having "done one" with the loot, our hapless duo soon find themselves in a lose-lose situation with half the London Borough Of Bromley constabulary in attendance... - Director:
