" -Μήπως είναι διεθνής η κρίση του κινηματογράφου; -Δημήτρης Πουλικάκος: Δε νομίζω. Γίνονται ταινίες. Είδα αυτή την τελευταία του Τζάρμους. Το "Mystery Train". Μου άρεσε πολύ. Να, ένα παράδειγμα, μίας ταινίας φτηνότατης, σχεδόν με το τίποτα φτιαγμένης, κι από πλευράς χρημάτων, κι από πλευράς σεναρίου. Αλλά είναι ταινία. Ο άνθρωπος μπορεί και κάνει σινεμά. -Λέει μια ιστορία, λέτε. -Δημήτρης Πουλικάκος: Λέει δυο-τρεις ιστορίες, ανακατεμένες. Δεν έχει σημασία αυτό. Αυτό που έχει σημασία, είναι που σε κάνει και κάθεσαι και την βλέπεις. Είναι ταινία, ρε παιδί μου.". (Από το περιοδικό "ΜΑΧ" του Σεπτεμβρίου του 1990 κι αναδημοσίευση στις σελίδες 152 & 153 του Βιβλίου του Σωτήρη Κακίση "Οι απέναντι /Συζητήσεις με πρόσωπα της ελληνικής οθόνης", εκδόσεις: Αδάμ). - @Sunday, January 18, 2015 7:00 PM

Loved this movie - Jarmusch spares us from too many split second shots preferring substance over effects. A Masterpiece! - @Tuesday, September 16, 2008 2:58 AM
