Synopsis

Jim Jarmusch’s second feature stars Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni as a trio of cellmates in a New Orleans jail who decide to break out. A perfect concoction of the trio’s conflicting comedic styles, Jarmusch’s deadpan delivery, and the cinematography of the great Robby Müller. In 35mm .
