Down by Law by Jim Jarmusch
During late 90’s, I first saw Down by Law and enjoyed a lot. I watched it again over weekend. After two decades, Still it hasn't aged at all. In fact, it has gotten even better.
Simple story, nice visuals, wonderfully written dialogues, better acted , Cinematography is perfectly done & background soundtrack is very very big plus point.
Film opens with amazing opening scene of the seedy streets of New Orleans as we listen to Tom Waits' "Jockey full of Bourbon." Every shot in that opening scene could be a fine piece of art hanging on a wall. 10 out of 10. Another fine DVD from Criterion Collection.
Secret things
A complex movie that showcases the violence and the decay that is just under the surface of high society life & questions morality and finally pushes the limits. In brief this movie is about two young women, a stripper and barmaids, who were unemployed and decide to use their sex appeal as a tool to get on the fast track to success in the corporate world. Things go as planned for them for a while until they meet a more cunning, evil man and rest of story revolves around three people lives. The film is well cast, and the all three leads gave strong performances. The story ok. As I said it pushed the limits at the end. Some of the scenes with nudity are pretty erotic but they're present with great style. Cinematography was simply amazing in few scenes. 7 out of 10. For mature audience only
The Bank Dick
I watch and love many old films and the reason I watched this one too. For some reasons, I did not like content & Field’s jokes. Whatever the final car chase was pure fun & original.
