Jim Jarmusch broadens his scope with this episodic tale of a night in the life of several Memphis, Tennessee, inhabitants who unknowingly find themselves lodging at the same hotel. The first episode, Far from Yokohama, is about two Japanese teenagers (Youki Kudoh and Masatoshe Nagase) on a pilgrimage to the birthplace of rock and roll, Sun Studios, where Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins got their start. In the second story, A Ghost, two strangers meet and become friends. One is an Italian tourist, Luisa (Nicoletta Braschi), who is on the way back to Rome in order to bury her husband; the other, Dee Dee (Elizabeth Bracco), has just dumped her British boyfriend, Johnny (Joe Strummer). During the middle of the night, Luisa is visited by the ghost of Elvis. Lost in Space, the final segment, brings all the characters together briefly, as Johnny goes on a violent drinking spree with Dee Dee's brother (Steve Buscemi) and another friend (Rick Aviles). Throughout all of this, the hotel's night clerk (Screamin' Jay Hawkins) and bellboy (Cinque Lee) listen to the local radio and engage in aimless conversation. Jarmusch once again uses his distinct sense of humor to dispel cultural myths--this time it's the legend of Memphis--by placing an eclectic group of tourists into an unquestionably American environment.DVD Features:Region 1 EncodingKeep CaseWidescreen and Full Screen FormatsTheatrical TrailerCollectible Booklet

Directed by British filmmaker Mike Newell (FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL), THE GOOD FATHER stars Academy-Award winner Anthony Hopkins as a man who takes a reactionary response to the feminist movement. In the climate of the Conservative Thatcher government in Britain, Bill Hooper (Hopkins) has become angry and disillusioned with the failed radical politics of the 1960s that he once supported, especially after a messy divorce and ugly custody battle for his son. Taking a page from the women's movement, Hooper makes the personal political when he meets Roger Miles (Jim Broadbent), a man going through a separation and custody battle similar to his own. Bill convinces Roger to utilize a series of underhanded tactics to win the court case, using Roger's struggle as a way of indirectly striking back at the political movement he felt betrayed by during his own difficulties. By combining political statements with intimate, well-acted drama, THE GOOD FATHER chronicles the changing social atmosphere of Britain from the 1960s into the 1980s.
