Description

The films in this exclusive limited-edition box represent a stylish, worldly, collection of American Independent film from a legendary and acclaimed director noted for his ironic wit, laconic style, and often his gorgeous black-and-white photography. Jarmusch's singular vision of life's eccentric moments and characters remains a unique experience for the film lover. Stranger Than Paradise The film that launched Jarmusch's career, Stranger Than Paradise follows the adventures of Willie (John Lurie) and his best friend Eddie (Richard Edson)-a couple of small time gamblers disenchanted with their lives. After a visit from his pretty Hungarian cousin, Eva (Eszter Balint), Willie at first rejects this unwanted intrusion into his life. However, after an unexpectedly large poker win, the trio sets off on an unforgettable road trip through the wastelands of Cleveland to the sunshine and blue skies of Florida and from misfortune, to fortune and back. Winner of the Camera d'Or for Best First Feature at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival, Stranger Than Paradise is one of the most inventive and entertaining films from the U.S. independent scene. Night on Earth In one night, across the world, five taxi drivers experience five very different rides. In LA, a flustered agent recognises star quality in her driver, while New York in all its glory defeats a new American. A Parisian taxi driver learns the real meaning of discrimination, and a rollicking ride through Rome has repercussions for the clergy. And finally a trio of drunken Finns make a typically humourous end to their night. With an all-star cast, headed by Winona Ryder, B¨¦atrice Dalle and Roberto Benigni, Night On Earth is amongst the hippest and most original films in modern cinema. Down By Law A comic fable about finding the American dream in the most unlikely of places. Jim Jarmusch's highly aclaimed film is best summed up by his own words: a "neo-beat-noir-comedy". Too laid-back to avoid a prison term for a murder he did not commit, Zack (Tom Waits), finds himself sharing a jail cell with a small-time pimp (John Lurie) and an effervescent Italian (Roberto Benigni) arrested for killing a man while playing cards. An eventual escape leads the eccentric trio into the depths of the Louisiana bayou with no salvation in sight. It isn't until they land at the small home of an Italian immigrant (Nicoletta Braschi) that Zack, Jack, and Roberto learn to appreciate the beauty the world has to offer. The enchanting chemistry of the lead actors combine with Robby M¨¹ller's gorgeous black-and-white photography to create one of the most charming films to come out of America in decades.
