Description

Aloof teenage Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, and a disgruntled British immigrant all converge in the city of dreams—which, in Mystery Train, from Jim Jarmusch, is Memphis. Made with its director’s customary precision and wit, this triptych of stories pays playful tribute to the home of Stax Records, Sun Studio, Graceland, Carl Perkins, and, of course, the King, who presides over the film like a spirit. Mystery Train is one of Jarmusch’s very best movies, a boozy and beautiful pilgrimage to an iconic American ghost town and a paean to the music it gave the world.

    Watching Jarmusch sometimes feels like hanging with a sixteen year old. He mistakes trains for deepness and thinks that having Japanese people talking about Elvis means more than it does. His Zen is very shallow hipster zen.
  • Great movie!

    Following the rave reviews of Stranger Than Paradise, Jarmusch had plenty of pressure to out-do himself. This sweet and beautifully written movie delivers on the personal interest story as three tales are woven together, sprinkled with plenty of humor and good music. It is charming and quirky which is Jarmusch's speciality. Enjoy.
