In New Orleans, Louisiana, a radio disc jockey named Zack is berated by his girl friend, Laurette. She warns that Zack is sabotaging his future by refusing to defer to his superiors at work, and complains that he treats her poorly. Leaving her behind, Zack saunters down the street that is littered with music albums Laurette threw out her window. Elsewhere, a prostitute berates her pimp, Jack Romano, claiming he cannot live in the present. Just then, a hustler named Fatso telephones, asking for a meeting, and Jack grudgingly agrees. Fatso apologizes for a previous betrayal, asks to leave the incident in the past, and offers him the “gift” of a new, nineteen-year-old prostitute. Although Jack suspects a hidden agenda, he agrees to see the girl at a hotel room. There, Jack falls into a trap when he offers the girl work. Accosted by police, Jack defends himself, claiming the girl is his lover, not a prostitute. However, she rises from the bed and reveals herself to be pre-adolesce

DOWN BY LAW (1986, Jim Jarmusch) “Jim Jarmusch’s deliciously deadpan third feature…looks more than ever like a milestone in American independent cinema. Though not bound to the intellectual angst of Cassavetes, the anti-authoritarian anger of Easy Rider or the aloofness of European art cinema (yet clearly influenced by all three), Jarmusch proved DIY film could be heartfelt, charming, wise and silly all at the same time. On a sweaty night in New Orleans, three mismatched oddballs – DJ Zack (Tom Waits), hipster pimp Jack (John Lurie) and stray Italian tourist Roberto (Roberto Benigni) – are banged up for a variety of perceived misdemeanors. Trapped together in a tiny cell, the men must learn to deal with each other’s shortcomings. The claustrophobic setting and semi-improvised tone might suggest something closer to sitcom than cinema (had Jarmusch seen Porridge?), but Robby Müller’s stately monochrome photography single-handedly lifts it into the realm of Proper Art. It’s a sad and beautiful world indeed.” –Tom Huddleston, Time Out. DCP. Approx. 107 min.
