Mystery Train sau spiritul lui Elvis omniprezent in Memphis
putin cam lent la inceput, incepi sa te lasi cucerit de naivitatea cuplului asiatic, sa observi detalii (costumul tipator al lui Screamin' Jay Hawkins, pantofii grotesti ai japonezului, valiza purtata cu un bat etc.)...incredibil cum reuseste Jarmusch sa creeze din nimic personaje bine conturate( tipul din restaurant cu pieptenele lui Elvis, negrii de la biliard, ghidul de la Sun Studio, vanzatorul de ziare)...oameni care l-au intalnit pe Elvis dupa moartea sa, fantoma Regelui care i se arata vaduvei italiene, ciudatul Steve Buscemi frizer, un oras bantuit de Elvis("Fiecare om din Memphis a luat o data in masina fantoma lui")...printre cele mai reusite scene mi s-a parut impuscarea vanzatorului ("Sunt omul care te va face sa folosesti arma asta...-Bum!").
