For the last couple decades, Jim Jarmusch has led American independent filmmakers with his quirky, original visions of slackers and outsiders. Films like Stranger Than Paradise, Dead Man and Ghost Dog play almost like poems; subtle, lyrical fables about unique characters. With the Criterion Collection's recent release of his 1986 classic Down by Law in a lavish 2-disc set, Cinema Gotham took the opportunity to chat with Jarmusch about his experiences as a filmmaker and as a New Yorker. Read Cinema Gotham's Interview with Jim Jarmusch as well as his review of Down by Law Criterion Edition.
