With a lush score of original songs by Tom Waits, and a vibrant cast that includes Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Rosie Perez, Isaach De Bankolé, Béatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni, Night on Earth unspools five stories of taxi cab journeys over one intercontinental night. Set in the empty after-hours landscape of cities from Los Angeles to Helsinki, Night on Earth has, what novelist Paul Auster dubs, the “‘Jarmusch touch:' that inimitable blend of deadpan humor, off-the-wall shenanigans, and exquisitely crafted images.” Tragicomic tales of loss, alienation, sexual folly, and personal destiny are related by a multi-national array of unforgettably individual characters, transforming the mundane experience of a cab ride into an opportunity for human connection.
