Japanese conglomerate JVC) was considerable compared to what the director had enjoyed before, and allowed him the freedom to rehearse many unscripted background scenes. It was the first of Jarmusch's feature films to depart from his trademark black- and- white photography, though the use of color was tightly controlled to conform with the director's intuitive sense of the film's aesthetic. Mystery Train was released theatrically by Orion Classics under a restricted rating in the United States, where it grossed over $1. It enjoyed critical acclaim on the film festival circuit, and like the director's earlier films premiered at the New York Film Festival and was shown in competition at Cannes, where Jarmusch was awarded the Best Artistic Achievement Award.

The film was also shown in the Edinburgh, London, Midnight Sun, Telluride, and Toronto film festivals, and was nominated in six categories at the Independent Spirit Awards.

The film consists of three stories that take place on the same night in downtown Memphis. The three stories are linked together by the Arcade Hotel, a run- down flophouse presided over by the night clerk (Screamin' Jay Hawkins) and bellboy (Cinqué Lee), where the principal characters in each story spend a part of the night. Every room in the hotel is adorned with a portrait of Elvis Presley.

The first story, "Far From Yokohama", features Mitsuko (Youki Kudoh) and Jun (Masatoshi Nagase), a teenage couple from Yokohama making a pilgrimage to Memphis during a trip across America.

The second story, "A Ghost", is about an Italian widow, Luisa (Nicoletta Braschi), who is stranded in Memphis while escorting her husband's coffin back to Italy.

Luisa, who has been conned twice and stuck with armfuls of magazines, is forced to share a room at the hotel with Dee Dee (Elizabeth Bracco), a young woman who has just left her boyfriend (Johnny from the final story) and who plans to leave the city in the morning. Luisa is kept awake by Dee Dee's constant talking, and when the young woman finally does go to sleep, she is visited by an apparition of Memphis' most famous icon – Elvis Presley. The final story, "Lost in Space", introduces Johnny (Joe Strummer). Upset after losing his job and his girlfriend (Dee Dee), Johnny – known, much to his chagrin, as Elvis – drunkenly brandishes a gun in a bar before leaving with his friend Will Robinson (Rick Aviles) and his ex- girlfriend's brother Charlie (Steve Buscemi), who believes Johnny to be his brother- in- law. They stop at a liquor store, which Johnny robs using the gun and severely wounds the owner in the process.

Fearing the consequences of the incident, Johnny, Will and Charlie retire to the hotel to hide out for the night; there, Johnny gets drunker. Charlie realizes that Will shares the same name as the character Will Robinson from the television show Lost in Space, which Johnny has never heard of. Watch The Company Men Streaming. Charlie and Johnny proceed to tell him about the show, and Will comments that that is how he feels then with Charlie and Johnny: lost in space.

The next morning, Charlie discovers that Johnny isn't really his brother- in- law, which angers him because of what they've been through. Johnny attempts to shoot himself, and while struggling to prevent him, Charlie is shot in the leg. Leaving the hotel, the three rush to escape a police car that isn't even looking for them.

The closing credits show the train, the airport and the final views of the characters from the first two stories. Production[edit]Script and casting[edit]Jarmusch wrote the script for the film under the working title "One Night in Memphis",[4] without ever having been to the southern city.[5] The idea for "Far From Yokohama", the first segment, he took from a one- act play he had been writing before filming Down by Law (1. The play – unrelated to Elvis or Memphis – concerned a constantly argumentative young couple, one of whom gradually comes to realize that their fighting is a unifying force in the relationship.[6][7] The interconnected stories were inspired by Jarmusch's dwelling on literary forms, and specifically the work of Chaucer,[8] Italian episodic films and Japanese ghost story cinema.[9][1. As with his other films, Jarmusch's starting point for writing Mystery Train was the actors and characters he had foremost in mind.

The great number of these collaborators contributed to it being "the most complicated film to write and execute" according to the director.[1. What I like about the Japanese kids in Memphis is, if you think about tourists visiting Italy, the way the Romantic poets went to Italy to visit the remnants of a past culture, and then if you imagine America in the future, when people from the East or wherever visit our culture after the decline of the American empire – which is certainly in progress – all they'll really have to visit will be the homes of rock'n'roll stars and movie stars.

So going to Memphis is a kind of pilgrimage to the birthplace of a certain part of our culture.—Jim Jarmusch, Interview, November 1.

Although reticent about acting, Hawkins responded favorably to the director's offer to appear.[1.
