Hey...we're back with Down By Law, a fun little comedic film by Jim Jarmusch. It's like one half prison film, one half Bayou road trip, and one half love letter to a New Orleans that I wonder if it still exists or ever did.
We got John Lurie (who we saw way back when from Fishing with John), Tom Waits, and Roberto Benigni playing some characters just close enough to themselves that they pull it all off really well. I like Jim Jarmusch but haven't gotten to all his stuff yet. Tom and John do a great job on the soundtrack here as well.
I won't get into it all a lot, because it is on one hand easy to explain, but very atmospheric and well shot. There's a lot of extras on the Blu-Ray and although it took me a long time to get back on the wagon, once i did it went fast. A fun movie and could totally make me a Tom Waits fan but man, I got too many other rabbit holes to dig first.
