[TRAILER] Jim Jarmusch's film presents five stories, each involving a cab ride and set in a different city around the world. In Los Angeles, no-nonsense taxi driver Corky (Winona Ryder) gets an engaging customer in the form of a Hollywood casting agent (Gena Rowlands). In New York, streetwise YoYo (Giancarlo Esposito) finds his cabbie Helmut (Armin Mueller-Stahl) knows precious little about how to actually drive. In Paris, a cabbie (Isaach de Bankolé) spars with a blind customer (Béatrice Dalle). In Rome, quirky driver Gino (Roberto Benigni) makes a lively confession to an ailing priest (Paolo Bonacelli). And finally, in Helsinki, somber Mika (Matti Pellonpää) picks up three men headed home after a night of drinking their troubles away. [more inside]
