Stranger than Paradise is a excellent example of a good independent movie. Shot on black & white negative 16mm film, the entire film doesn't have a single cut from one shot to another. Each scene begins and ends with a fade or jump to black. It is almost like watching a series of snap shots as you watch this unlikely story or three unlikely characters. The setting of New York City, Cleveland and Florida only add to the originality of the story with a simple, yet honest plot. Although this is not your typical drama or comedy, the movie ends up being funny and at sometimes a true drama. An interesting story that keeps you watching until the very end. A good independent film.
