Review of Night on Earth (1991) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 27 Mar 2006
Jarmusch is a poet of the night. Much of Night on Earth creates the same kind of lonely, elegaic, romantic mood as Mystery Train, his film about wanderers in nighttime Memphis. Tom Waits' music helps to establish this mood of cities that have been emptied of the waking.
It's as if the minds of these night people are affected by all of the dreams and nightmares that surround them.
