This week it's Dave's pick: DOWN BY LAW, Jim Jarmusch's deadpan indie prison break film from 1986, featuring Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni. What happens when you cram a deejay, a pimp, and an Italian tourist into a claustrophobic New Orleans prison cell? We talk cinematography, music, male energy, plus the curious Benigni effect. Along the way, we also touch upon Jarmusch's 2017 film PATERSON and Kogonada's COLUMBUS.
