| HKFlix Says: |
A true classic, and one of Jarmusch's best films to date. Roberto Benigni steals the show with his off-the-wall Italian tourist character. |

| Overview: | 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 director of photography Robby Muller.
