Dead Man - (Jarmusch;1995;USA) - ****
After an accountant kills a man in self-defense and is wounded, an Indian named Nobody who thinks the wounded man is the dead poet William Blake prepares him for the next stage of life while being hunted by a trio of bounty hunters.
An original take on the western genre. Jarmusch creates one of the best films of the 90's with this spiritual journey into death. Johnny Depp is great in his role as usual, along with the supporting cast, which has a few cameos. Neil Young's score is powerful in it's lonely feeling and helps the film greatly, adding to the poetic feeling of the film.
