"At the time of his death, if he were on Jupiter, Elvis would've weighed six-hundred and forty-eight pounds."
Be Kind Rewind Bristol is excited to present Jim Jarmusch's star-studded cult classic MYSTERY TRAIN screening downstairs at the Ill Repute on Thursday 4th April.
Aloof teenage Japanese tourists, a frazzled Italian widow, and a disgruntled British immigrant all converge in the city of dreams—which, in Mystery Train, from Jim Jarmusch, is Memphis. Made with its director’s customary precision and wit, this triptych of stories pays playful tribute to the home of Stax Records, Sun Studio, Graceland, Carl Perkins, and, of course, the King, who presides over the film like a spirit. Mystery Train is one of Jarmusch’s very best movies, a boozy and beautiful pilgrimage to an iconic American ghost town and a paean to the music it gave the world.
There may be a handful of available tickets on the door but we cannot guarantee you a space without a ticket.
