Dead Man (1995)

Director: Jim Jarmusch
Writer:    Jim Jarmusch
Cast:       Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer, Crispin Glover, John Hurt, Iggy Pop, Robert Mitchum

William Blake, an accountant, is injured and on the run after killing a man. He encounters an Indian named Nobody who prepares him to a journey into the spiritual world.

Film is a surreal western with an improvised guitar background score by Neil Young. Even though it is slow paced, there is plenty of dry humor with Johnny Depp's weary performance being the highlight. The film is known for his well researched portrayal of the Indian tribes and the conversation between those characters are not subtitled. It is a very good watch and having not seen any other Jim Jarmusch films, I have plenty of his other films to look forward to.

Rating: 4.5/5
