Review of Dead Man (1995) by David J — 10 Dec 2013
"'Dead Man' is a strange, slow, unrewarding movie." Even as a Depp fan, I didn't get into this overlong, colorless trip. "The direction, by Jim Jarmusch, calls attention to itself more often than it should.
..the experience seems more like an exercise in filmmaking rather than a movie." "The black and white cinematography by Robby Mueller, however, is quite striking and evocative of older westerns.
" "For sleepwalkers and dreamers" is code for "having absolutely nothing happening on the screen for long periods of time, fading to black, and then coming back with still more nothing.
".
