Down By Law

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.
