This movie has the nicest scenes just really enjoyable to watch
My favorite from Jim Jarmusch! A nostalgic & strangely endearing trio of tales in Memphis.9.5/10 Quiet & reflective, like most of his films.
Iconic film with three fantastic vignettes about a night at a Nashville hotel
One of the best uses of setting. Memphis just feels rundown and haunted by its past days of glory.
A wonderful Jarmusch feature, full of anticipation and quirk
Good movie w/ short vignettes about Memphis.
A funny but low-key 3 part vignette story of an outsider view on Memphis, I particularly enjoyed the Japanese couple more than the rest.
This movie is a fantasique. The humor is amazing
Great thematic anthology film, each story is unique but consistent. Atmosphere, tone, and characters are what makes the film.
Three stories about a shot in the dark, that complement each other. Masterful camera work by Robby Müller directed by Jim Jarmusch. Awesome!
