NIGHT ON EARTH contains five vignettes linked together by parallel narratives of bizarre taxi rides. The film tells the individual stories of taxi drivers and their unique passengers over the course of one night in five different cities: Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, Rome and Helsinki. Written, produced and directed by American independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, his 1991 anthology film features a huge ensemble cast that includes Winona Ryder, Gena Rowlands, Giancarlo Esposito, Rosie Perez, Roberto Benigni and more, as well as a soundtrack by eccentric composer Tom Waits. Each sonder-evoking story, some of which are comedic like “Helmut & Yo-Yo” in New York and others heartbreakingly tragic such as the determined taxi driver’s tale in Helsinki, paint the poetic, life-affirming commonality of strangers’ brief interactions that could be happening simultaneously anytime, anywhere on the planet.

A Tom Waits music video pre-show will begin at 6:30 pm.
