Film still of "Down by Law" by Jim Jarmusch.
Down by Law, Jim Jarmusch (USA, 1986).
In a Louisiana prison two listless losers are stuck in a jail cell together, soon they are joined by a boisterous Italian tourist and suddenly an escape attempt is on the horizon.
Down by Law a 1986 cult classic, and follow up to Jarmusch’s breakout film Stranger Than Paradise, is an exploration of America from the outside-in. In a prison in Louisiana, three hapless men are brought together by fate—Zack, an out of work disc jockey (Tom Waits), Jack, a small-time pimp (John Lurie), and Roberto, an eccentric Italian tourist (Roberto Benigni). As they become friends Roberto makes a plan for their escape. Described by Jarmusch as “neo-Beat noir comedy” Down by Law features stellar performances and stunning cinematography by Jarmusch’s long-time collaborator Robby Müller.
The film will be screened in English with Catalan subtitles.
