when i first hear about night on earth i think it be one of the typical award win arthaus movie your girlfriend force you to watch . i mean and 120 minute watch people in taxi . but it be really entertaining and especially the scene with roberto benigni and armin mueller stahl . i could benigni watch for the whole 120 minute talk to himself . ( talk . singing and screaming and yelling and poke fun and . and his interlocutor and the deserted and silent and dark and somewhat morbid street of a beautiful roman night ) so and if your an arthaus sceptic like me and give this one a try . buy the dvd and and if your girlfriend want you to watch anything that sound boring and suggest that one in response and you will not be disappoint .
