Review of Night on Earth (1991) by Owen Gleiberman for Entertainment Weekly — 19 Dec 1994
Jim Jarmusch’s Night on Earth is an agreeably flaky comedy built around a surefire hook. Each of the film’s five segments consists of a single extended taxicab ride through a different city; the idea is that each excursion is taking place at exactly the same time.
The movie is like a hipster’s ramshackle version of traveling around the world and never leaving the Hilton.
