Grade: B

Country: USA

Director: Jarmusch

Review

the first thing that struck me was how good looking a film this was – though some of this can be attributed to the criterion dvd treatment it received. it took a bit of time to get into where it really thrived (the trio together, feeding off each other), but the background was necessary. lurie, waits, and benigni were really great together and their chemistry really allowed the film to breathe and take on a life of its own. i didn’t find any great morals or lessons from this film, but the character interactions and the look of the film were beautiful so it was a joy to watch.
