After so many years of wanting to see this film, I saw it at last. And let me ask... Is there an end to Tom Waits' talents? Tell me he can paint as well and I am starting up a religious group that will worship him as the "one an only"! (As if I haven't been doing that for the past few years already...) And Benigni as hilarious as ever... Unbelievable...
Exact same situation. Been a Tom Waits fan for a long time and finally got a hold on the movie. I was a amazed by both the movie itself and Tom's performance.
Yep. Love Tom Waits. Finally saw this movie and it's just gorgeous. I also love John Lurie from his Fishing with John show/DVD. So this was a double treat. And I didn know Benigni was in the movie until he just showed up. For the sake of discussion, I found this far more entertaining than Stranger Than Paradise, which I saw a couple of months ago. I'm slowly but surely catching up on the Jim Jarmusch library. Dead Man is next.

I saw Dead Man finally and love that one too. I need to watch it again though. Most of these require a coule of viewing to get all the enjoyment out of them. Maybe more...
