Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
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. Jarmuschs lovingly askew view of humanity from the enger seat makes for one of his most charming and beloved films.
"Jim Jarmusch's fourth feature film, Night on Earth, is an anthology of nocturnal stories set in five cities worldwide, unified by its premise: the protagonists are taxi drivers and their nighttime engers. There isn't a traditional plot, but what makes the film so memorable and powerful are the nuances that Jarmusch and his cast (including a very young Winona Ryder, Giancarlo Esposito, Roberto Benigni, and the legendary Gena Rowlands) capture of their characters, portraying whole lives where the lines between customers and servers, natives and immigrants, engers and drivers blur."
