jim jarmusch be an independent filmmaker know for make a lot of anti mainstream film with an offbeat track to them and clearly inspire by the french new wave of cinema . with night on earth and a most of his picture and they have some harsh reality in it and but at the end it make you feel good and satisfied . night on earth be an offbeat cult film that do lift your spirit somewhat . this film be really an anthology . the event of the film take place on the same night . it five story take place in five city represent los angeles and new york and paris and rome and and helsinki . about 99 % of the film take place inside a taxicab . it show the relation that taxi driver sometimes have with their customer . in the los angeles segment and winona ryder be a tomboy cab driver pick up gena rowlands and a hollywood persona . in the new york segment and armin mueller stahl be a german immigrant driver teach by giancarlo esposito the street of new york . in the paris segment and an african cab driver pick up a blind woman . in the rome segment and roberto benigni be a motor mouth driver pick up a sickly priest . and in the helsinki segment and three worker and one of whom be depress and drunk have an interesting conversation with the driver . this be one of jarmusch best film and because it show how important to subtlety in rid in a cab can be rather uplifting . i myself have a taxicab experience like this while rid a cab in berlin and so there a personal connection for me . it different from most jarmusch film because it film in color and when most jarmusch fan would prefer black and white . it more uplifting than most of his film and so the black and white wouldn not work out so well . it have a comedic value to it . roberto benigni character be absolutely to die for . there a really great musical score in the film by one of my favorite artist and tom wait . his rather jazzy sound give it a noir ish feel to it . it an offbeat kind of film and but it well film and well script and well act and and have a feel good value to it .
