Night on Earth

Night on Earth (1991)

Once again, I’ve been rather slow to catch up with a film. So slow, in fact, that it took me by surprise that they still used the pre-euro currencies in the European episodes.

I don’t like Roberto Benigni, but even that hadn’t stopped me from liking the episode with him as a whole. Wynona Rider is less then credible, but the rest of the cast are very OK, and all the five stories told are worth hearing. A very nice thing about the film is that at least three out of five parts manage to convey the spirit of the place quite, even surprisingly, well. One wonders if the other two are as realistic, and if yes, maybe a trip to SF is in order.

Since obviously there aren’t any theatres playing this film, renting one for a night, or even a week, is a good thing to do. Enjoy your relaxed evening while taking 5 trips, at least several of them abroad, without ever having to get up from the couch.
