Mystery Train (Criterion Collection) (DVD)

Aloof teenage Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, and a disgruntled British immigrant all converge in the city of dreams-which, in MYSTERY TRAIN, is Memphis. Made with it's director's customary precision and wit, MYSTERY TRAIN is a triptych of stories that pay playful tribute to the home of Stax Records, Sun Studio, Graceland, Carl Perkins, and, of course, the King himself, 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. Directed by Jim Jarmusch. Starring Screamin Jay Hawkins, Nicoletta Braschi, Steve Buscemi and Joe Strummer.
