Movies - Bagdad Café


Bagdad Café (also known as Out of Rosenheim) is a 1987 film directed by Percy Adlon.

The film is a U.S./German co-production (running 95 minutes in the U.S. and 108 minutes in the German version. It is a somewhat surreal comedy set in a down-at-heel truck-stop café and motel in the Mojave Desert. An ill-assorted cast of characters are assembled, including a comfortably built German tourist (Sägebrecht as Jasmin) who has left her husband after a row in the middle of the desert, the short-tempered owner of the café (Pounder as Brenda) who has just thrown her husband out, Brenda's two children and grandchild, a strange ex-Hollywood set-painter (Palance), and a glamorous tattoo artist (Kaufmann). Through a passion for cleaning and for magic tricks, Jasmin transforms the café and all the people in it.
