Film ''Down by the law''by Jim JArmuch is a black and white comedy/drama/crime.
His main idea about the film was to create and develop a style to follow realistic and
imperfect characters through familiar environments.
The scene begins with a long shot, panoramic view of a city/town called New Orleans,
feeling of a old school architecture, swaps and worn down streets are presented to us of
surreal and slow paced series of moving shots. Jim JArmuch is focused on the two characters
and on a atmosphere of the settings.
