Night on Earth is a collection of five stories depicting the fleeting encounters between cab drivers and their passengers in different cities around the world. Now, the thematic exploration is quite diverse, although it focuses mainly on communication and cultural differences. It's not exactly dramatic, but the humor doesn't come as a deadpan device either. To what extent does it deserve its cult status? I couldn't say for sure, but it's more than understandable. After all, Jim Jarmusch effectively navigates sequences that may seem too casual and preconstructed, but he manages to make them seem so authentic that the viewer absorbs each of these stories with ease, even if the narrative set-up may seem a bit repetitive. My favorite story was the one starring Giancarlo Esposito, while the one I liked the least was the one featuring Isaach De Bankolé, because it felt forced and awkward. Though I blame it on Béatrice Dalle because I never felt she gave him anything genuine to work with. I didn't feel the connection because I didn't buy that there was chemistry between them. Night on Earth may not be among her best work, but it's worth watching because it's still a good film.

Aburrida, la salva 1 o 2 dialogos, y las tomas de las ciudades de las historias

Неплохой фильм для своего времени не имеющий ни капли актуальности в современном мире.
