Jim Jarmuschs Mystery Train (1989) is an anthology-style film set in Memphis, following three loosely connected stories unfolding over the same night. The film stars Youki Kudoh, Masatoshi Nagase, and Joe Strummer, and reflects Jarmuschs minimalist storytelling approach. Music, particularly the legacy of Elvis Presley, plays a central role in linking the narratives. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and received the Best Artistic Contribution award.

Criterion Collection

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, 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.
