Bagdad Cafe

1987 PG 1h 48m 7.4

A lonely German woman ends up in the most desolate motel on Earth and decides to make it brighter.

A look into the lives (and minds) of some people everyone has encountered but few really ever get to know. This "fish out of water" tale shows how one person can affect a disparate community. The Adlons express the view that change and "magic" comes from hard work and mutual understanding/acceptance. A well-crafted view of the lives of people everywhere and the difficulties we all can face. A whimsical story, lovingly shot by people who--unfamiliar with what others too often ignore given this arid area--the bleak, arid Southwest, an almost fairytale-like beauty.
