a review of 地球之夜

As an anthology, it feels a bit front-loaded with the star power on display in the first few segments. And it sags a bit during the frankly interminable Rome sequence with Roberto Benigni. But ultimately Jarmusch brings it in with the lovely, understated Helsinki finale. The movie feels like spending an actual wild, sleepless night in the company of its characters, and as such it's right at home in Jarmusch's menagerie of low-key hangout films.
