Juxtaposition is the crucial structuring device in the film as Jarmusch records one moment in one night in five locations Los Angeles, New York, Rome, Paris and Helsinki.
In each of the cities the narrative unfolds in a taxi; this both captures the transitory condition of urban experience - unpredictable encounters and journeys - and foregrounds what is usually regarded as insignificant detail, the everyday is central to this film.
Part fairy-tale, part-noir mood-piece, Night on Earth both celebrates and derives comedy from its characters' eccentricities.

 Night on Earth movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
It goes without saying that confining the “action” to the interior of a vehicle puts a huge emphasis on the director and his performers, but what makes Night on Earth so special is the fact that it works so well.
Cartwheeling between fl comedy, human tragedy and personal enlightenment, the film’s easy pace may be too relaxed for some, but Jarmusch maintains a steady rhythm and he has an ability to evoke a moody, elegiac atmosphere which at times can prove hypnotic.
