Paterson
Jim Jarmusch's quietest film is about a bus driver who writes poetry. Nothing dramatic happens, and that is exactly the point. It is the most calming film ever made.
Columbus
Two strangers bond over architecture in a small Indiana town. The pacing is meditative, the framing is gorgeous, and it will make you want to slow down.
Aftersun
A daughter pieces together memories of a holiday with her father. It sneaks up on you, and by the final frame you will be completely undone. The kind of film that changes how you remember things.
The Remains of the Day
Anthony Hopkins plays a butler so devoted to duty that he lets love pass him by. Every scene is draped in restraint and regret. A rainy afternoon essential.
Shoplifters
A makeshift family of petty thieves in Tokyo lives in quiet warmth until one act of kindness unravels everything. Kore-eda finds more humanity in the margins than most films find anywhere.
