i never saw this one before, i saw it today on DVD, wow! wonderful dialogues, great acting and an excelent idea. Before Jim Jarmusch directed Ghost Dog and Broken Flowers he directed this one and what a piece of work.
-
MCT:July 29, 2008The concept is great, a movie about five different taxi drivers in five different cities on the world. Every story is touching, and I really recommend every one to see it.
-
MCT:July 17, 2008Another Jarmusch oddity about cab drivers from all over the world at the same time in different time zones and their fares. Very funny and touching at the same time. With Winona Ryder, Roberto Benigni, Armin Mueller-Stahl to name a few. Great film.
-
MCT:July 8, 20081 night. 5 cab drivers, 5 fares, 5 different cities.
5 stories pass between passenger and driver as Jarmusch takes us around the world and back, in stories about cultural adaptation, following your bliss, sex and death, and the depths of love and...(read more) pain, some in more detail than others. The last two with the preist and the "saddest story in the world" stand out the clearest in my mind.
Alternately funny and reflective, but always entertaining, this is definitely Jarmusch' most acessible, and also one of his most compelling. Great film maker, and great moment for "world cinema". -
MCT:July 1, 2008Interesting... er... vignettes? It's actually a little boring after a while. That's kind of why I don't like these "anthology" movies.

It's really difficult to adore a movie with so little substance, and considering the lack of in 'Night On Earth' it's actually quite impressive and very enjoyable. If like me, you flick it on knowing nothing about it whatsoever, you'll probably find it far more interesting. As for the stories themselves, well they are all watchable but the French one seems quite pointless and the Italian one should have been earlier on, because by that far through the movie, we're too knackered to take in Benigni's ridiculously rambly character. The Finnish story is fantastic, and an easy favourite. The two American ones are good, and Winona Ryder is so perfect for that part- although in fact, all the actors is pretty spot on. Intriguing idea, which could have been explored in more depth...

Another Jarmusch's masterpiece! God, every single of his works are just perfect!!! Hehe, I laughed a lot during a segment with Benigni! But, my favourite one is about the guy who is from Germany.

LA: kinda dumb but Winona is lovely - 3,5 stars.
NY: nonsense at its best, that's the way i like it! 5 stars
Paris: worst episode. 2 stars.
Rome: greatest one, story and acting are brilliant. 5 stars
Helsinki: strange but good conclusion. 4,5 stars. -

Amazing. I loved the stories here a lot. It is a fascinating concept, the idea of taxi driver across the world, all about how people make the most of their lives and how they deal with it. Each one is extremely different which makes it stand out. The one in Rome was allegorical for example and the one in L.A was a sort of ode and the others have their own qualities too. Highly recommended and just genuinely beautiful and intriguing stories.
I did not Helsinki part too much though, It thought it was an extremely bad thematic piece that made a pathetic attempt at talking about suffering and was very farcical to me. -
MCT:January 30, 2008this is a tallented movie ! i like it a lot ... it was different & kinda simple & sad like the normal life .

An enjoyable and lovely movie, specially the Rome episode, Benigni was great, he can make you laugh so hard that tears come out of your eyes!
-

Not all the stories contained are interesting and they drag the movie down, but there are indeed a few gems here which elevate this to a very worthwhile film.

More a collection of shorties than an actual movie. All the shorties are good however and even Benigni is not irritating.

Five funny and sad stories about taxi drivers and their passengers. Looking at a man or woman you think you can understand who they are or how they`ll act but no. They turn out to be very quite the opposit. And that`s good because you understand that they are not stereotypes they are live.
I laughed really hard at the story with Benigni))) -
MCT:September 29, 2007
As an ex-taxi driver I'm biased ;-) but I really liked the Rome and Helsinki chapters for their humour and/or realism, but not so much the others.
Kind of reflects my general ambivalence about Jim Jarmusch. -
MCT:September 9, 2007
A series of short segments revolving around cab drivers. One or two are well worth checking out, but the entire film overstays its welcome.

WAS INTRODUCED TO THIS MOVIE BY MY GIRLFRIEND NOW I SPEND MORE TIME WATCHING IT THAN WITH HER WHAT A GREAT MOVIE LOL

Overall, very enjoyable and it makes ya thunk!!! -

5 taxi rides taking place simultaneously in Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, Rome and Helsinki. Another gem from Jarmusch.

5 cities, 5 cabs, 1 night. A mixture of philosophical sketches that only briefly makes one ponder and comedy sketches that work better. It may once have been an original comparison of cultures, but nowadays just seems very dated.
