thedarkhorizon Review of Night on Earth

Night on Earth (1991)

Beautiful, captivating and a great journey among the quest of human struggles.

[9/10 · 7 December 2020]

I was intrigued by the strong captivating energy of the characters and especially the use of (joyful) music along the ride. It FELT like we're with them in the cab, listening to their struggles and staring at each other through the rear view mirror to find out more about them. Each section with a vibe and magic on its own... and I was happy to see five different city scapes riding by the window...just like we're there, in summer, autumn and spring and winter... curious things happen in the night! Sure, some elements seem overly exaggerated (like an italian couple making out twice in the Rome part... what a clichee!), but it still felt like additions to the phantastical and humorous vibes. A timeless movie that still captivates the struggles of humanity and teaches us countless lessons. A film to be watched over and over, ageless, timeless, endless.
