Marubi screens movie of icon director Jim Jarmusch

TIRANA, April.5 – In its weekly Thursday evening screening, the cinema school Marubi had chosen one of the earliest movies of icon American movie director Jim Jarmusch. The movie was done in 1968 and is a black-and-white masterpiece of dark comedy, a criminal fairy tale about broken-down New Orleans losers who like black coffee, loose women, and speak with poetic street patter. Gravel-voiced troubadour Tom Waits plays Zack, a slacker deejay who’s framed for murder. Tossed into prison, he shares a cell with Jack (John Lurie), a pimp who was also framed – he went down for child molestation, set up by a dissatisfied john נand Roberto (Roberto Benigni, back before he got precious), an Italian tourist who prefers to be called “Bob.” The movie lazily documents the three as they do their time together, and then escape from prison. Jarmusch is one of the icon movie directors with unconventional and highly artistic productions among which masterpieces like: Coffee and Cigarettes and Broken Flowers.
