About this product
Product Information
Director Jim Jarmusch's episodic slice-of-life drama follows the adventures of five different cabdrivers in five different cities all over the world. In Los Angeles, a young female driver (Winona Ryder) charms her snooty passenger--an agent (Gena Rowlands) who believes she's found her latest star in the tomboyish cabbie. In New York, a man (Giancarlo Esposito) gets into a taxi only to find that his immigrant driver (Armin Mueller-Stahl) has no idea how to drive. The Paris segment features an angry sightless woman (Beatrice Dalle) who provokes her African driver (Isaach de Bankole). In Rome, Roberto Benigni stars as a hyperactive taxi driver who confesses his odd sexual practices to a clergyman (Paolo Bonacelli) and is shocked when the priest has a heart attack. The film's climactic scene in Helsinki follows a cabdriver who listens to a tragic and poignant tale from one of his three inebriated passengers only to top him with his own, sadder story. Colorfully photographed by Frederick Elmes, NIGHT ON EARTH features an original score by the masterful Tom Waits. Jarmusch handles his various stories--as well as actors--with his traditional lighthearted sincerity, resulting in another original tale from one of independent film's most distinct directors.Product Identifiers

So, so!
This film was recommended to me so I had great expectations of it. However, parts were entertaining, and others like actors on speed. I still have the Finnish sketch to go, so maybe I shall be surprised. Winona Ryder won an accolade for her part, but I found it a very cliched role: chewing gum, chain smoking, baseball cap back to front - yawn! Maybe I am missing something, and should give it a second go?Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of Jarmusch’s Best
Absolutely wonderful collection of 5 classic Jarmusch vignettes. Rome is my personal favourite with Roberto Bengini rambling but the Icelandic vignette at the end took me by surprise and was incredibly profound. Much like Paterson, Broken Flowers etc this is another excellent example of Jarmusch exploring the poetry of every day life. Couldn’t recommend more highlyVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
