　　Set during the 17th-Century Christian purges in Japan, it focuses on the real-life Portuguese Jesuit missionary Father Cristóvão Ferreira, who abandoned his faith after being tortured and became an interrogator of Christians. In the film, Liam Neeson plays Ferreira, while Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver are two missionaries who travel to Japan in search of him. He told the New York Times: “I’ve tried, in my work, to find out how to live life – tried to explore what our existence really is and the meaning of it.” Released 22 December in Greece, 23 December in the US and 30 December in Spain.

　　该片讲述了17世纪在日本发生的基督教肃清运动，主要描述了一位葡萄牙传教士费雷拉在被日本政府迫害后失去宗教信仰，并成为了一名退教审讯者的故事。由安德鲁·加菲尔德和亚当·德赖弗饰演的两位传教者偷渡到日本，寻找恩师费雷拉。斯科塞斯对他对《纽约时报》说：“在我的作品中，我试着去探索如何去经营生活，试图去探寻生存的真谛。”

　　“This is a movie in which very little happens. A bus breaks down. A dog eats a notebook.” As The Independent’s review reveals, film-maker Jim Jarmusch is doing what he does best in his latest movie: resisting conventional Hollywood storytelling. Yet the drama about a week in the life of a New Jersey bus driver and amateur poet (played by Adam Driver) is far from dull. According to Empire, despite Paterson’s seemingly banal plot, “Jarmusch’s eye for detail and humanity makes it close to riveting… Quiet, thoughtful and deeply human, this is one of Jarmusch’s finest and features Adam Driver’s best performance yet.” Released 9 December in Spain, 21 December in France and 28 December in the US.

　　《独立报》评价：“这部电影里涵盖了生活中的每一件小事儿，譬如公交车坏了，狗啃了日记本等。”导演吉姆·贾木许尽其所能不落入好莱坞式电影叙述的套路之中。该片的主人公是一位非常有趣的新泽西州公交司机兼业余诗人帕特森(由亚当·德赖弗饰演)。Empire评价说：“即便电影的情节看似无聊，但是贾木许对于细节和人性的独特视角，使得该部电影非常的有看点——安静，深刻，人情味。这应该是贾木许最成熟的作品，也是目前亚当最好的表演。”
