Down By Law
Down By Law
Stars: Tom Waits, John Lurie, Roberto Benigni, Ellen BarkinDirector: Jim Jarmusch
Summary: A disc jockey, a pimp, and an Italian tourist end up in the same jail cell in this comedy from acclaimed director Jim Jarmusch. Eventually, the trio escapes into the wilds of Louisiana, with no refuge in sight. As the three harmless fugitives, Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni each deliver supremely engaging performances. Filmed in crisp black and white, DOWN BY LAW is a sweet comedy that shows Jarmusch only continues to grow as an artist.

Jim Jarmusch's Down by Lawis in the same minimalist, oddball, black-and-white groove as his classic of American independent cinema, Stranger than Paradise(1984). The setting is Louisiana, where two losers (musicians Tom Waits and John Lurie) find themselves stuck in a jail cell together. One day they are joined by a boisterous Italian (Roberto Benigni), and the chemistry changes--suddenly an escape attempt is on the horizon. Conventional drama is not Jarmusch's intention; one of the emotional high points of this film is the three guys marching around their prison cell shouting, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!" Yet the deadpan style creates its own humorous mood, underscored by melancholy (also underscored by the music of Lurie and the gravel-voiced songs of Waits). This was the first American film for Italian comedian Benigni, (Life is Beautiful), and he lights it up with his effervescent clowning. Jarmusch has said that Down by Lawforms a loose trilogy with Stranger than Paradiseand the subsequent Mystery Train(1989)--a triptych of disaffected, drifting life in the United States. Few filmmakers have ever surveyed ennui so entertainingly. --Robert Horton, Amazon.com
