mystery train (1989)


"Hey, everybody! Check your guns at the bar!"
Three intertwined stories set in Memphis, centered on the seedy Arcade hotel in a bad part of town. First we meet a young Japanese couple desperate to see Graceland, and the Sun Studios. Then we watch Luisa (Nicoletta Braschi) as she tries to kill time before her flight out of town. Lastly we have Johhny, Will Robinson and Charlie the Barber (Joe Strummer, Rick Aviles and Steve Buscemi). A trio that end up at the hotel after botching a liquer store hold up.
Jarmusch's interesting work brings together three disperate tales and intertwines the atmosphere of the city into the fabric of the stories.
