Down by Law [Criterion Collection Blu-ray]

Out-of-work DJ Zack (Tom Waits) and small-time pimp Jack (John Lurie) are both set up and thrown into a Louisiana jail cell, where they're joined by Roberto (Roberto Benigni), an irrepressible Italian tourist with a few words of English. Together the mismatched trio make a break for it through the bayou. Jim Jarmusch's deadpan, black-and-white comedy about loners and misfits.
