I really wanted to enjoy this having loved Jarmusch's "Mystery Train" The film starts well but goes downhill once Benigni's character enters the picture. He is just too annoyingly offbeat that the whole film is thrown off kilter. Consequently the film gets more and more tedious. After and hour I had to stop the DVD. Real life is more important!

Down by Law review by broadbeanbrain
Still great

The gutteral, twangy Tom Waits soundtrack gives this film a suitably laid back theme. I loved it when it first arrived on the arthouse cinema scene for its sculpted clash of downbeat, deep south, underground culture with Benigni's probing, insistent and seemingly innocent humour. That said, it has lost some of its cinematographic appeal on transit to the small screen and my wife found it rather slow moving.
