Film Synopsis

Five cities. Five taxicabs. A multitude of strangers in the night. Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Beatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for this hilarious quintet of tales of urban displacement and existential angst, spanning time zones, continents, and languages. Jarmusch's lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat makes for one of his most charming and beloved films.

Our Take

"Indie maverick Jim Jarmusch’s wry, oddball sense of humor is on fine display in this suite of five urban tales told in the backseat of a cab. The Finnish actors who populate the Helsinki segment are a perfect match for Jarmusch’s deadpan style, while Roberto Benigni earns his keep with an uproarious Roman reminiscence about his erotic encounter with a pumpkin."

    Night on Earth

    Really enjoyed this film...Benigni's segment was so funny that it became a joke we returned to for months...all very nice performances; don't really remember much about the various characters but remember it as an interesting detour into other people's nights.
