Night on Earth Review
Possibly the most mainstream film to date by the laconic, impressionistic filmmaker Jim_Jarmusch, this agreeable (if overlong) project works in fits and starts, which is to be expected in a film that is so episodic in nature. However, Jarmusch's acute eye for detail and his offbeat casting choices (including a pre-fame Roberto_Benigni) pay off. The tone of the film is more lighthearted and playful than Jarmusch's previous efforts, but still retains his trademark minimalist style. One of the main contributors to the film's unerring sense of time and place is ace cinematographer Frederick_Elmes, whose previous work with David_Lynch and John_Cassavetes proves notable here, where even the inside of a cab has an strange and inviting veneer. Jason Clark, Rovi
