Review of Mystery Train (1989) by J M — 21 Dec 2008
The rich American history of Memphis provides an otherwordly backdrop for those who come to visit. The first "Far From Yokohama" segment is the best, following a couple of naive Japanese country music tourists.
The second, "A Ghost," is forgettable, and the final, "Lost in Space," is pretty amusing, with the three guys just drinking, driving and rambling. Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Cinqué Lee and Tom Waits tie the whole thing together with comic relief.
