Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Some parts of the film take place in New York and Rome. Which other cities appear in the picture?

Answer: Los Angeles, Paris, Helsinki

The picture was filmed in those five cities, located in four countries (USA, France, Italy, Finland). Jarmusch chose for each episode actors from the country where the episode took place, and had them speak in the language of their country.

2. What is NOT a common bond between all five stories?

Answer: Each story only involves two persons.

Five cities, five cabs, at the same moment (five clocks show five different times). Each time the sketch is the meeting of different persons (a rich snob Hollywood producer and a young cabdriver, an east-German emigrant and a Brooklyn New-Yorker, a Parisian cab driver and a blind woman, a "sinner" and a priest, a father who lost his child and three drunks).

3. During the credits, we can hear the song "Back in the Good Old World". Who sings it?
