 Uh - yes I did, very much.  But what about 'Night on Earth'?
 Your quote just reminded me of the last segment in Helsinki,
 with Matti Pellonpaa as the taxi driver telling Kari Vaananen,
 Tomi Salmela, and Sakari Kuosmanen (the three drunken factory
 workers in the back) the dreadful story of his recent life.
 It's a masterpiece of bleakness, written & drirected by
 the brilliant Jim Jarmusch, with music by the equally
 brilliant Tom Waits (anyone seen the clip for 'In the
 Neighbourhood'? - what a guy).  What has all this to do with
 KB?  I'm glad you didn't ask.
