Mystery Train: Three stories are connected by a Memphis hotel and the spirit of Elvis Presley.
You really can't go wrong with Jarmusch. The three stories are simple yet poignant and take you in completely different directions. One thing I've always loved about Jarmusch is how he puts non actors in acting situations and make them steal the show. This one is no exception. Screamin' Jay Hawkins as the night clerk at a hotel was definitely a standout in this. Having Joe Strummer and Tom Waits in roles as well didn't hurt.
