Quote
"One of the most deadpan comedies ever committed to film, Stranger than Paradise suggests a Buster Keaton film written by Samuel Beckett and Jack Kerouac and directed by Andy Warhol...it went on to become one of the most influential movies of the 1980s, casting a wide shadow over the new generation of independent American filmmakers to come."allmovie: Stranger Than Paradise
