Title: A hikarious jail-break comedy starring Tom Waits, John Lurie
Product review: The movie starts by chronicling the descent into prison (for minor offenses) by three very disparate characters (Waits, Lurie and Benigni) and proceeds to follow their exploits in prison and, once they make the break, out. Beautifully shot in black and white, wonderfully acted, and very funny. As usual, Benigni's real-life wife is in the movie. She shows up towards the end, and as usual she is wonderful. There is also a nice cameo at the beginning from Ellen Barkin, who looks so very very young. The entire movie has Jim Jarmusch's sense of quirky humour written all over it - if you like the rest of his work, you will love this movie. If you hate his work, you most likely won't like this one either, but if you have never seen a Jim Jarmusch movie, this is the perfect one to start with.
