DOWN BY LAW
Synopsis:
Two misfits, small time pimp Jack (John Lurie) and unemployed disc jockey Zack (Tom Waits), are joined in prison by an thoroughly peculiar Italian Roberto (Roberto Benigni in his first appearance in an American Film), who has apparently killed a man with a snooker ball.
An eventual escape leads the eccentric trio into the depths of the Louisiana bayou with no salvation in sigh.
