Review of Down by Law (1986) by Tom Huddleston for Time Out London — 11 Feb 2006
The claustrophobic setting and semi-improvised tone might suggest something closer to sitcom than cinema (had Jarmusch seen Porridge?), but Robby Müller’s stately monochrome photography single-handedly lifts it into the realm of Proper Art.
It’s a sad and beautiful world indeed.
