Subject: Mystery Train - the movie on IFC
Has anyone seen this? It is showing several times this month on Independent Film Channel. I caught the first half hour or so, then had to go. It looked really good and had several real musicians in it, plus listed "the voice of Tom Waits" in the beginning credits.

The beginning started out with a delightful young couple from Japan who were riding the train all the way to Memphis to see Sun records and Graceland.

Here's the blurb about it from the IFC website:

Mystery Train

"...buoyantly funny from start to finish..." (The New York Times). Haunted by the spirit of Elvis Presley, Jim Jarmusch's blissful comedy focuses on the strange happenings and bizarre guests at a seedy Memphis hotel. In English.


Thanks,
