The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$95. The cheapest seat is at CINEMATHEQUE in Yau Ma Tei, HK$95. Category IIB · 127 minutes.
What it is about
"I'm sorry I sound calm. I assure you I'm hysterical."
Five comedic vignettes occur simultaneously in taxis across five cities. In Los Angeles, a casting agent meets a tomboy driver; in New York, an immigrant driver struggles with directions; in Paris, a blind woman challenges her chauffeur; in Rome, a driver’s confessions overwhelm a priest; and in Helsinki, workers share tragic tales. Taking his episodic format global, Jarmusch relies purely on dialogue within confined spaces to reveal profound human truths.
What to expect
Five cabs, five cities, one moment. Jarmusch and Jeong Soo-hyun keep the camera inside the car for the whole 127 minutes, letting the conversation do the work. The cast shifts with each city — Winona Ryder and Gena Rowlands in LA, Roberto Benigni in Rome — but the setup never changes: a driver and a passenger, talking. The Korean-language production leans into Jarmusch’s deadpan rhythms, and the confined spaces make every silence count. It is playing at a single Hong Kong cinema over the next week, with one screening listed, so catching it takes planning. Category IIB, Korean with English and Chinese subtitles, tickets from HK$95.
