Plot: This West German film is set in the California Desert. A husband-and-wife pair of Bavarian tourists become stranded when their car breaks down; after a quarrel, the wife, Marianne Sagebrecht, gathers her luggage and stalks off. She stops at the Bagdad Cafe, a fleapit truckstop run by outspoken C.C.H. Pounder, who is also having husband problems. The Cafe has become a magnet for some of truly odd character: temperamental Hispanic cook George Aguilar, tattoo artist Christine Kaufmann, and onetime Hollywood set designer Jack Palance. Despite obvious personality differences, Sagebrecht and Pounder become friends. Bagdad Cafe was later adapted into a short-lived American sitcom starring Jean Stapleton and Whoopi Goldberg. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

This is an awesome movie. It has a lot to say about people and change. In a very good way.

One of the best!

Bagdad Cafe is one of the best movies around! Marianne Saegebrecht is delightful in her role and so is CC Pounder. The movie takes off right from the beginning and never stops. There are a lot of laughs, chuckles, snickers, and just plain broad smiles. The music, of course, is quite haunting. Saegebrecht is quite a popular character actress in Germany and it is good to see that she is getting out to a broader audience.

A classic!

I can't really describe this movie - you just have to watch it & judge for yourselves. You'll either get it or you won't. One of my all time faves!

Odd, but Engaging

I'm one of those people who doesn't like sci-fi, fantasy, silly romances, most comedy. I like drama. And don't give me obvious humor and expect me to laugh. I don't like weirdness much, either. I like things straight-forward.

I refer to this movie as "The weirdest movie I like" and when I've gotten others to watch it, they liked it, too. It's on the cusp of mainstream and artsy. Most importantly, it's very UNDERSTANDABLE and entertaining. Give it a shot.
