Review of Mystery Train (1989) by Ahmedaiman1999 — 30 Mar 2021

Memories that you wistfully remember because of how simple life was back then. It seems that Jarmusch has dipped his brush in them before painting this otherwise off-beat, cool tapestry of three stories woven around the spirit of Elvis Presley. It's an ode to the ephemeral simple moments, only commemorated with a tinge of amiable quirkiness and deadpan humour to lend them some levity. And with a very aesthetic palette, Robert Müller magnify the intensity of colours to bring life and vividness against the vague tone of the movie and the tacky set design. Seeing Paterson and now this, I can safely assume that Jarmusch really manage to combine absurdity with poignancy very well.
