Dead Man - (Jarmusch;1995;USA) - ****
After a love triangle turns into a double murder, accountant William Blake is on the run from bounty hunters while a mysterious Indian named Nobody prepares his journey into the spiritual world.
A very mystic take on a western. Several different interpretations have flowed through my head. There are a few minor flaws I find in it, but all in all, it comes out to an excellent film and a creative turn for a western. The cinematography is haunting in Black and White, especially in the final scene. Neil Young's score is also very good, and supports the mood of the film. Johnny Depp is great as always in his role, and Gary Farmer is convincing as the Indian. There are several nice cameos also, the smallest one being Steve Buscemi as the bartender.
