julesdabest I'd love to share this recommendation with you. Of course, if it's not too late (you posted your question in jan.).  Benigni is excellent in "Down By Law."  He is so funny and the film is throughly enjoyable.  He does a fine job in "Night on Earth."  Although I do believe Down.. to be a better film.  But they do not necessarily need to be compared.  I am a definite fan of Jarmusch, I also recommend "Mystery Train," Benigni is not in that one, but it's great. See for yourself and enjoy.  Blwyddyn newydd dda.  I don't know what that means but I saw that a few of you Welshman signed off that way.  What does it mean?  Chao, Vanessa
