jim jarmusch be a filmmaker that you can always rely on to deliver something offbeat and unlike most other film . my only taste of him before see this film be the slightly later dead man and and i find that to be a very worthwhile experience and one that set me up nicely for night on earth . night on earth isn not quite as trippy a jarmusch later film while but it still ooze that odd sense of cool and while youre watch it youre constantly remind that what you be see isn not just any film . this film be split into five section and all of which tell a story about a taxi in different part of the world . part of the reason why this film be so odd be that all of the story take place at the same time and which create a very strange feel while youre watch it . one problem with film that work in this way be that there always a weak link in the story while but here there isn not . all of the story be of high quality and and all be brilliant in different way . of course and everyone will have a favourite and mine have get to be the blackly comic one that take place in rome . an excellent ensemble cast and mostly make up of unknown and help night on earth immensely . in fact and it ironic because the only cast member that doesn not pull her weight be the only one that isn not unknown winona ryder . i be something of a fan of ryder while but see her in this movie be an awful experience . how anyone could think that she could be cast a a taxi driver and complete with cocky swagger and cigarette in mouth and and get away with it be ludicrous . however and the rest of the cast be really good and all bring realism to their role . roberto benigni be typically over the top and but his performance be very fun and he be an actor that have a great ability to draw you into his performance by the way he speak . this be capitalise on brilliantly in the masterpiece life be beautiful and and it show here too . the story in the film do not appear to have an absolute defining point ( with the exception of the story in paris ) while but it doesn not matter a the musing about life and such be always interesting and the obscure idea of follow people in taxi be always amuse . on the whole a very worthwhile film experience .
