FREE ON CINEGEEK.De Jim Jarmusch - Down By Law 

Down By Law is about cheap whiskey and black coffee. About taking any dirty job and living the life of a complete loser. Only girls offer some variety. Together: a pimp, an unemployed DJ and a confused tourist from Italy. They escape from prison, make their way through the swamps of Louisiana and search for a breakfast place. Filmed by copy & past from blues songs, prison movies and old thrillers. "It's a sad and beautiful world," someone noticed. Right. Can you choose not to be a loser? Can you buy the American dream? Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni will explore these questions. They will meet in a prison cell and become victims of a whole chain of misfortunes. Two of them hate each other. But what is hatred against this all over happy and satisfied Italian? In any case, they escape together, drag themselves through the swamps and encounter every single cliché that seems possible. They may be there in Louisiana, but in reality they're in an art world borrowed from "pulp novels" and "film noir" classics. A grim film, but infused with serenity. Are we even supposed to take all this seriously? Like every Jim Jarmusch film, Down By Law sometimes suffers from lengths. And by being too busy with its hip surface instead of actually trying to have some real conversations. But Down By Law is an original and probably gets better with every run!
