Night on Earth

Night on Earth is a 1991 comedy-drama anthology film written, produced, and directed by Jim Jarmusch. It is a collection of five vignettes that take place roughly simultaneously on the same night, concerning the temporary bond formed between taxi driver and passenger in five cities: Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, Rome, and Helsinki. Jarmusch wrote the screenplay in approximately eight days, and the choice of certain cities was largely based on the actors with whom he wanted to work. The accompanying soundtrack is by Tom Waits. The Criterion Collection released the film on DVD and Blu-ray on April 9, 2019.
