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 (Stranger Than Paradise, Night on Earth), 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.

    Das ist der erste film von jim jarmusch, der mich nicht gleich auf anhieb überzeugt hat, er kommt mir irgendwie unfertig vor, wie ein Ausschnitt aus dem Leben von wenigen Personen, sozusagen einfach Alltag und doch hat der Film das gewisse etwas, das hängenbleibt und ihn zu einer rarität macht... einfach aus dem Leben gegriffen, so richtig nach dem Motto von Goethe: "Greift nur hinein ins volle Menschenleben!"
