Review of Dead Man (1995) by Paul J — 11 Dec 2008
An acid western unlike anything else. The outstanding cast is lead by the brilliantly dumb Johnny Depp. The stunning black and white cinematography is complimented nicely by Neil Young's haunting score.
This film only gets better with each viewing. Strangely, it's very moving in its existential approach. The deer shot is touching, the first nations message is admirable and the ending is a fine homage to On the Waterfront.
Ultimately, this is Jim Jarmusch's masterpiece.
