About a year-and-a-half ago I blogged about one of my favorite movies -- Jim Jarmusch's 1991 classic Night On Earth. Set in five taxicabs in five cities around the world on one night, it's a funny and heartwarming look at the interactions and fleeting relationships that cabbies and their passengers develop.
The movies takes place in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome and Helsinki. The NYC story is about a guy trying to get from Manhattan back to Brooklyn and is picked up by a German immigrant -- who can barely drive. Along the way they find the guy's sister-in-law walking the streets, and craziness ensues. The German cabbie was played by the great Armin Mueller Stahl, and his passengers were the brilliant Giancarlo Esposito and Rosie Perez.
Recently Giancarlo and Rosie, who are both in big shows right now, gave a joint interview where they talk about the first movie they did together -- Spike Lee's 1989 classic Do The Right Thing -- and then Night on Earth.
Nothing better than two great actors reminiscing about two great movies they made more than 30 years ago -- and showing that talent and superior work at truly timeless.
