Jarmusch's acclaimed 1984 film, Stranger Than Paradise takes you on the road from New York, through Cleveland, and on to the sunny beaches of Florida. Along the way, learn about life here from the outside, as Eva - fresh off the plane from Hungary - joins her cousin Willie and his friend Eddie in the Land of Opportunity. What will the trio make of themselves?

With apathetic protagonists, meandering scenes, and a melancholic score from actor/musician John Lurie, the emphasis is on the everyday, making it a stark contrast to the quick cut music video style of the day. Winner of the 1984 Camera d'Or at Cannes, this is the work that launched Jarmusch's reputation as one of the most avant-garde American directors of his time.

Tickets: £5.50 full / £4.00 concessions and get £1.00 off all meal orders £7.00 or over in the Café/Bar on the same day with your ticket. See our full range of menus here.
