Screamin' Jay Hawkins

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. 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.

A psychotic couple’s crime spree grows shockingly violent as they kidnap and rape a random teenage couple and then prepare them for human sacrifice.
