“it feels cool to be in memphis” said one elvis fanatic to another in jim jarmusch’s film mystery train centering on 3 stories unfolding amid the desolate surroundings of memphis tennessee.. overall the movie was pretty good but i was completely transfixed by the first story of these two kids from japan who made a pilgrimage to graceland. their very presence there transforms the space into this foreign land where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. the way they perceived this small southern town as this glamorous place filled with rock n’ roll history.
i guess that’s what graceland is all about…
i am currently very relieved to have my installation proposal done & submitted and with no more deadlines hanging over my head, and time to finally start reading middlesex, which my mother recommended forever ago… also fully immersing myself in the world of veronica mars.
