Noah MorseFirst to rec“Roberto Bernigni is a god-tier performer and we are lucky to have him on our earth. He is particularly excellent in his 1997 Oscar-Winner, Life is Beautiful, but in my opinion, few things beat his performance in Down by Law. I would say that few characters have made me cackle harder than Bernigni in this movie, and when you see it you will understand why. It’s an obvious Jarmusch pick and maybe obvious for all three of the leads, but wow, I will never get sick of this one.”

Miranda“it’s not about the prison break, but the friends we made along the way :’) Jim Jarmusch films often get (wrongly) labelled as boring but I love floating along with these characters on their journey. And it’s funny!”
