A few notes: - My sequencing game today was TIGHT. Three five-star movies, three movies about one long night in a specific place, three movies with an emphasis on music, and two of them have an all-night radio leitmotif (Wolfman Jack in American Graffiti, and Tom Waits…

Different people and different life stories.
CvptvinHowdy likedMystery TrainI knew this reminded me of Night on Earth it's by the same director. I enjoy character-driven films that are actually well written even if there isn't really a plot. It's always cool to see Steve Buscemi in random movies lol.
Murph is "meh" onMystery TrainRating: 5.5/10 Cool unified anthology but overall pretty boring. Some parts were better than others and I would have given it a like if there was an actual ending.

There is a deep embedding of comedy, nostalgia, shabby sadness and visual beauty.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
The dialogue sounds as if it had been gathered by means of microphones hidden in diners, buses, waiting rooms, restrooms, motels and park benches. Sometimes it is hilariously banal, with never a word wasted.

The New York Times
This bracing, original comedy may be mostly smoke and air, but it's not insubstantial. Mystery Train insinuates itself into the memory and lingers on.
