Featuring: Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Giancarlo Esposito, Rosie Perez, Roberto Benigni, Paolo Bonacelli, Isaach de Bankolé, Béatrice Dalle
Five cities. Five taxicabs. A multitude of strangers in the night. Jim Jarmusch assembled an extraordinary international cast of actors (including Gena Rowlands, Winona Ryder, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Beatrice Dalle, and Roberto Benigni) for this hilarious quintet of tales of urban displacement and existential angst, spanning time zones, continents, and languages. Jarmusch’s lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat makes for one of his most charming and beloved films

Release Notes on Restoration
Night on Earth
Night on Earth is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. Black bars at the top and bottom of the screen are normal for this format. Director Jim Jarmusch supervised and approved this new high-definition digital transfer, which was created from a 35mm interpositive. Thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches were removed using the MTI Digital Restoration System. To maintain optimal image quality through the compression process, the picture on this dual-layer DVD-9 has been encoded at the highest-possible bit rate for the quantity of materials included.
The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from the magnetic tracks, and audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle.
