Attilio finds his life suddenly turned upside down when he learns that his love has been critically injured in a Baghdad bombing. Despite the chaos sweeping through Iraq, he vows to risk everything in order to travel to Iraq to save her.

Oscar-winner Roberto Begnini takes on the title role in of the wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy in this fantasy-driven telling of the classic Italian fairy tale.

Aloof teenage Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, and a disgruntled British immigrant all converge in the city of dreams?which, in Mystery Train, from Jim Jarmusch, is Memphis. Made with its director?s customary precision and wit, this triptych of stories pays playful tribute to the home of Stax Records, Sun Studio, Graceland, Carl Perkins, and, of course, the King, who presides over the film like a spirit. Mystery Train is one of Jarmusch?s very best movies, a boozy and beautiful pilgrimage to an iconic American ghost town and a paean to the music it gave the world.

When fate lands three hapless men?an unemployed disc jockey (Tom Waits), a small-time pimp (John Lurie), and a strong-willed Italian tourist (Roberto Benigni)?in a Louisiana prison, their singular adventure begins. Described by director Jim Jarmusch as a ?neo?Beat noir comedy,? Down by Law is part nightmare and part fairy tale, featuring fine performances and crisp black-and-white photography by esteemed cinematographer Robby Müller.
