The film stars Vincent Gallo, Tricia Vessey, Béatrice Dalle, and Alex Descas. The film's soundtrack is provided by Tindersticks. The film takes its title from a protest song Frank Zappa wrote for his band the Mothers of Invention.
Although initially it was met with a harsh reaction from critics, it has since developed a small following who admire it for its themes of existentialism and its unique take on the horror genre as well as gender roles. It was given an in depth analysis by Salon.com which looked at the intricacies of the film, particularly the metaphorical nature of the narrative. At Film Freak Central, Walter Chaw calls it "Plaintive and sad, Claire Denis' Trouble Every Day is a rare combination of honesty, beauty, and maybe even genius." (review)

Night on Earth is a 1991 film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch.
It is a collection of five vignettes - the term Slice of Life Story would also be appropriate - concerning the temporary bond formed between taxi driver and passenger in five different cities: Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Rome, and Helsinki. The movie begins with the Los Angeles-based snapshot and moves from city to city as the clock turns during the late hours of the night. Jarmusch wrote the screenplay for Night on Earth in about eight days, and the decision to film in certain cities was based on the actors with whom he wanted to work at the time.[1]. The Night on Earth soundtrack is by Tom Waits.
