Mystery Train in 35mm
Jim Jarmusch / 1989, USA
110min / 35mm
Aloof teenage Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, and a disgruntled British immigrant all converge in the city of dreamswhich, in Mystery Train, from Jim Jarmusch, is Memphis. Made with its directors 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 Jarmuschs very best movies, a boozy and beautiful pilgrimage to an iconic American ghost town and a paean to the music it gave the world.
"The best thing about "Mystery Train" is that it takes you to an America you feel you ought to be able to find for yourself, if you only knew where to look." Roger Ebert
