    Description:
    Tom Waits, John Lurie, and Roberto Benigni star as Zack, Jack and Bob in Jim Jarmusch’s rambling independent feature about three alleged lawbreakers who are throwninto the same New Orleans jail cell. Despite the simmering hatred between Zack, a disc jockey, and Jack, a pimp, the three escape jail, only to face the elements in the swamp that surrounds the prison. As New York Times film critic Vincent Canby notes, “the excitement comes from the realization that we are seeing a true film maker at work, using film to create a narrative that couldn't exist on the stage or the printed page of a novel.” To purchase tickets by phone or for more information please call 901.544.6208. Down By Law is part of the Brooks’ Armed + Dangerous Film Series, co-sponsored by Indie Memphis and presented in conjunction with the exhibition Armed + Dangerous: Art of the Arsenal, on view through March 11.

    Director: Jim Jarmusch
    U.S.A. | 1986 | 107 minutes
