Down by Law

Down by Law

  • Jim Jarmusch
  • 1986
  • 1h 47m
  • USA, West Germany

“We all scream for ice-cream” and genuine surrealism by Jarmusch in the most famous film of his first decade, almost designed to turn into a cult spectacle for his audience in the years to come. John Lurie, Tom Waits, Roberto Benigni are marvelous as ordinary but totally fresh everyday heroes.

Synopsis

Jack and Zack both unjustly end up in the same dirty cell of a New Orleans prison, when Roberto comes in, an Italian immigrant that speaks English poorly and just repeats whatever he hears. Contrary to the other two, Roberto is a true criminal, and one day he tells them he has watched a movie that will help them escape prison.

Τοm Waits , διαχρονική αξία και ίδιος με τον Ντιέγο Σιμεόνε της Ατλέτικο.. Έργο πρωτότυπο.

Κλασικό από κάθε άποψη

Για τις μουσικές και τα τραγούδια. Για τους θρυλικούς πρωταγωνιστές. Για την "άλλη Αμερική" που βλέπουμε στις ταινίες του Τζιμ Τζάρμους.
