Night on Earth - Criterion CollectionThis film is fantastic ...I had an old vhs copy and was glad to see it released in dvd format..it contains flawless..breath taking camera work..a perfect script and soundtrack and brilliant acting by a stellar cast..During the Helsinki segment I actually could feel the bone-chilling night coldness that was hanging over the city...Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Wells, Billy Wilder and Federico Fellini all great Masters of cinema had nothing over Jarmusch in fact I think he could have shown them all a trick or two had he had the chance to take them under his tutelage...If ...

...that so many people gave this boring loser of a movie 5 stars!! One star is half a star too many! Do these people have such boring lives that they actually watch other people's boring lives for entertainment? After the first "conversation" [if you can call it that?] with the punk cabbie in LA--I tried to give it a second chance by watching the next episode in NY and it was even worse--a screaming black prostitute whose only vocabulary is "f*** you" is entertainment? NOT!! If you are looking for an interesting movie--PASS ON THIS ONE!!
Rating: - Strangers in the night -- a Jim Jarmusch classic
Jim Jarmusch's affinity for the humanity in those who might otherwise seem abrasive or distant is fully evident in this touching and lovely film, finally out in a version that does it justice. The film looks very good and sounds great in its new Criterion edition, that includes some nice extras on a single disc: Jim Jarmusch is always fascinating -- just to watch and even better to hear what he is saying -- and answers questions about the film and about his filmmaking in a few of the extras here, there is also a nice booklet of essays and reminiscences.

Hallelujah, "Night on Earth" on DVD -- I waited 10 years for this! Up til now this movie has only been available in VHS. The picture is fresh and vivid, and Tom Waits' haunting soundtrack is resonant. Jim Jarmusch pairs contrasting actors in each vignette as the movie circles the globe in a series of nighttime taxi rides. The best is the taxi ride in Rome, ably navigated by Roberto Benigni, as he imposes his confession on a helpless priest. There has never been another movie like it, and "Night on Earth" is Jarmusch's most underrated and brilliant work.
Rating: - Travel the world with Tom and Jim
The camera is the Jarmusch 'eye' and you travel with him and his musician buddy Tom Waits across the world as the unseen occupants in taxi cabs. This voyeuristic trip mixes comedy with some serious ideas and even tragedy. A beautiful film that gives you some things to think about as it bridges the often huge divide that can arise between America and Europe.
