NP - Patterson Movie

[David Morris]

The poetry of the main character, Paterson.  It was so dull.

And the movie started with repeated twins when the match poem was
developing. Was that supposed to be clever?  Not in my match book.

The love between the man and wife was nice, but never a hint of sex beyond
the morning peck on the head.  That should have been a morning wood-fest.
Why so sexless in a movie about poetry?
