The following 1986 press conference features DOWN BY LAW director Jim Jarmusch, executive producer Otto Grokenberger, actor-composer John Lurie, and actors Nicoletta Braschi and Roberto Benigni. The color loss evident in the image is inherent in the master footage.
This interview with actor-composer John Lurie was shot for French television during the 1986 Cannes Film Festival.
The following outtakes were assembled by Jay Rabinowitz, apprentice editor on DOWN BY LAW, who went on to edit many of Jim Jarmusch’s subsequent films.
