If you loved Bagdad Cafe, try Down by Law

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Bagdad Cafe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Down by Law is

Jarmusch does New Orleans. Three hapless men find themselves sharing a jail cell after running afoul of the law. They break out and try to make their way through the Louisiana swamp. The movie has some striking black-and-white photography, so there's that.
