Description

When fate lands three hapless men—an unemployed disc jockey (Tom Waits), a small-time pimp (John Lurie), and a strong-willed Italian tourist (Roberto Benigni)—in a Louisiana prison, their singular adventure begins. Described by director Jim Jarmusch as a “neo–Beat noir comedy,” Down by Law is part nightmare and part fairy tale, featuring fine performances and crisp black-and-white photography by esteemed cinematographer Robby Müller.

    This was terrible. Cinematography...good, but the acting stank, plot development was woeful. How long should it take to arrest 3 "innocent" men and get the story moving?

    Well done, Mr. Jarmusch. I can't imagine improving on this film's settings, score, cast, and writing. Top notch comedy, with so many poignant human moments.
