jim jarmusch night on earth be what one could call an international american movie and therefore almost a contradiction . when normally americans come to paris and to madrid or to rome and the movie in which they act look like these city would lie in the u . not only there be exclusively english spoken and but the actor do not behave a if they be in europe . sadly enough and this be even true for soderberg the good german . the bad that can happen and then and be that american try to film european history . i do not watch such movie anymore until unviersal will have agree to contract fredy murer a director of a new american western . very different be the movie of the world versatile jarmusch and a real odysseus for whom the greek attribute polytropos could not better fit also what the choice of his movie concern . although the situation in the different taxi drive be act and they be so good a in real life . in order not to spoil the real pleasure that everybody have who have travel to the city in which jarmusch lead u and i give here only a few hint . masterfully armin müller stahl a taxi driver and clown who look a if an ufo have abandon him amidst new york city . his film name grokenberger be a nice allusion to grock and the great clown of all time . jarmusch humor get a bit cynic if he choose exactly paolo bonacelli for the role of the priest who die in the taxi under the confession of roberto benigni represent the same bonacelli who be in one of the three lead role in pasolini salo and a movie that be so full with nausea that people can hardly survive it . to a nice allusion jarmusch also succeed in the last episode which show a cab drive of three drunk in helsinki . helsinki be the cinematic seat of whom . right and of aki and mika kaurismäki . so and the awaken watcher be not too astonish and when the sober taxi driver be call mika and the deathly drunk passenger aki . also a form of reverence of jarmusch who be a real global citizen .
