Sorry about the delay.

Permanent Vacation (1981) - Jim Jarmusch

Let's see, what can I say about Permanent Vacation...well, it's weird. There ya go, that's the entire movie in one word. It's so freakishly weird that it's almost unexplainable. There is no real plot here, no rising action, no climax, none of that, just some hipster wandering around Manhattan and meeting crazy people along the way. He chats about his own hallucinations to a psychotic Vietnam war veteran, listens to a druggie tell a sadistic joke about a saxophonist, listens to his insane mother say something about him stealing his father's eyes, steals a car, and dances to music for about forty seconds of screen time.

I'm still not sure why I liked this movie so much, it was just some skinny dude wandering around a strangely empty city. It was good and eerie at times, such as when the hipster wakes up on a roof and mutters something about a legislative gun, and stands up and starts spinning around. The use of music was excellent as well, the only original music was what sounded like church bells chiming in a creepy rhythm which added a lot to scenes where you wondered whether or not the main character was sane. Overall, if you can take a dose of weirdness, try it out, you'll probably love it, and if you're a Jarmusch fan, watch it also since Permanent Vacation is somewhat referenced in most of his other movies.
