A cinematic face and a deep voice: from Paterson to BlacKkKlansman, these are Adam Driver’s best films.
He was the son of Han Solo and Leia who embraced the dark side of the Force. They found out Clint Eastwood AND Steven Spielbergwho wanted him to play two small roles in J. Edgar AND LincolnIn the meantime, he gained some fame through his role as Adam Sackler in the HBO series. Girls. Indeed, it was kind of Terry Gilliam’s Avatar for the ambitious The Man Who Killed Don Quixoteand we saw him at the 2023 Venice Film Festival in the role Enzo Ferrari, in the biopic directed by Michael Mann. Adam Driver has become one of the… The most beloved and sought-after Hollywood actorsThe directors were the greatest directors: Spielberg, and then Noah Baumbach, the Coen brothers, Jeff Nichols, Jim Jarmusch, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Leos Carax.

Francis Hathen in About Davis And in Star Wars: The Force Awakenscomplete with the 2014 Volpi Cup for Hungry Hearts Saverio Costanzo. So, between one success after another, and the intersection of different genres throughout his filmography, here are those who, in our opinion, are best Adam Driver films. Starting with an unreleased film directed by Shawn Levy…
1. This is where I’ll leave you
Unreleased for years and then released on pay-per-view, Shawn Levy’s This Is Where I Leave You is an adaptation of Shawn Levy’s novel. take me Home Jonathan Tropper. Adam Driver does not have the main role, but the role of one of the Altman brothers, who rushed to the old family house after the death of their father. An intimate film, halfway between drama and comedy.; a film about life, choices, memories, where the actor shares the set with a group of great actors: Tina Fey, Corey Stoll, Rose Byrne, Kathryn Hahn and the absolute main character Jason Bateman. A film that you can rediscover, in which you can recognize yourself.

2. Marriage story
Fourth collaboration with Noah Baumbach for one of the best duets of 2019. Adam Driver vs. Scarlett Johansson, New York v. Los Angeles. Presented in Venice, A Marriage Story tells the story of love, and then the destruction of love itself, between Charlie, a theater director, and Nicole, an aspiring actress. For many, the film being available on Netflix is something of a modern update Kramer vs Kramerbacked by superb performances from the main characters. Very emotional filmwhich earned Driver an Oscar nomination.
3. BlacKkKlansman
A great script, a great true story, a great Spike Lee, who gave Adam Driver one of the most noble and humane roles of his career. In 2018’s BlacKkKlansman, he plays detective Flip Zimmerman, who works undercover in the racist underworld of the Ku Klux Klan in the seventies. Flip joins the investigation of Ron Stallworth, the first African-American to become a police officer in Colorado Springs (played by John David Washington). Another great performance and Adam Driver’s first Oscar nomination..

4. Paterson
One of the cases from 2016. Jim Jarmusch’s Paterson explores poetry in a way few films have done before, focusing on the daily life of a man torn between his job (he drives a bus) and his love for his wife Laura (Golshifteh Farahani). . Every evening, while walking with his introspective bulldog Marvin, Paterson writes poetry in a notebook, escaping his dangerous and anxious routine. Measured and quiet, this may be Adam Driver’s best performance yet.. Of course, the director was one of the most eclectic modern authors.
5. The Logan Scam
Steven Soderbergh’s underrated The Logan Thing is instead one of the best heist movies in recent memory. Super cast: Channing Tatum, Riley Keough, Daniel Craig, Seth MacFarlane, Hilary Swank, with Adam Driver as Clyde Logan, who lost an arm during the Iraq War (given the history of Drive, there is self-irony at the highest level). The story centers on a heist orchestrated down to the last detail: the emptying of the coffers of Charlotte Motor Speedway, an event that encourages the attendance of thousands of fans. The usual iron script and the usual excellent direction by Soderbergh.. Among the iconic scenes is the prison confrontation between Tatum, Drive and Daniel Craig. A scene worthy of attention.
