- DOWN BY LAW, the1986 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.
