A slice-of-life student film from legendary filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, Permanent Vacation follows young Aloysius Allie Parker, a teenager obsessed with jazz genius Charlie Parker, who is searching for meaning in his life. He drifts through New York City without a clear destination, guided more by feeling than intent. Along the way, he encounters strange and compelling people who briefly enter his life, offering moments of reflection, confusion, and quiet connection rather than answers. It’s not hard to identify with Allie. He’s a bright young man whose interest in music is a big part of his personality. He’s full of wonder as he enters the world in his own way. His wanderings and encounters are memorable, which matters because they make up the body of the film. The characters are unplugged, fully present, and each is presented with their own quirks and flaws. That serves to keep the film feeling realistic. And in our modern screen-heavy world, that kind of thing feels nostalgic. For the full review: Stay Tuned for the 150 Movies of 1980 Guide
