Jim Jarmusch’s Mystery Train unfolds over a single Memphis night, where aloof Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, a disgruntled British immigrant, and other wayward souls cross paths in a rundown hotel overseen by a droll night clerk (Screamin’ Jay Hawkins) and bellboy (Cinqué Lee). With his signature precision and wit, Jarmusch weaves together three alternately comic and haunting stories of love, lost dreams, and Elvis’ ghost. 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. Featuring Youki Kudoh, Masatoshi Nagase, Nicoletta Braschi, Joe Strummer, Elizabeth Bracco, and a soundtrack steeped in classic Memphis R&B. (USA, Japan, 1989, 110 mins, R, English & Japanese | Dir. Jim Jarmusch)
