Permanent Vacation is a 1980 drama film directed, written and produced by Jim Jarmusch. It was the directors first release, and was shot on 16 mm film shortly after he graduated from film school. Although lacking some of the elegance of his later works, this film is often credited as the birth of the directors original style, and character schemes.

Plot

The main character, played by Chris Parker, wanders around a dingy New York atmosphere and is confronted by a number of intriguing characters as he ponders the questions of life, and searches for a better place.

Trivia
