Mystery Train

One night in Memphis, Tennessee, the Arcade Hotel takes in a string of guests, run by a night clerk (Screamin' Jay Hawkins) and a bellboy (Cinqué Lee). Mitsuko (Youki Kudoh) and Jun (Masatoshi Nagase) arrive from Japan hunting the roots of rock, while an Italian widow, Luisa (Nicoletta Braschi), is stranded in town for the night. Jim Jarmusch tells it as three stories on the same clock, letting them brush past each other in a room-by-room deadpan.
