Very interesting concept with terrific performances from all around. Good for any fans of anthology series.
Bordering on meh… I rated it good b/c I liked the concept. The execution could have been a little more exciting, maybe each segment shorter
I am not the biggest fan of anthologies but most them in here are pretty good. Jarmusch is definitely not for everyone with very slow pacing
Great movie this should be talked about more
such clichés about Rome&Paris... but a beautiful film, little capsules that make you want more and yet are good for what they are: ephemeral
90s aesthetic and funny vignettes, some less than others. Worth the time, esp if you like Jarmusch.
Every short is unique. It covers so many themes, moods, and interesting characters so beautifully.
Common life wisdoms incorporated into 5 simply told stories.
My favorite Jarmusch movie. Funny, charming and special.
Excellent series of vignettes about taxi rides, drivers and passengers, in various cities across the world
