Review of Dead Man (1995) by Lanky Man P — 23 Oct 2011
Hauntingly good film. Episodic, full of blackouts and a grinding Neil Young soundtrack, this is a neo-neo-realist take on a simple Western story, full of disillusionment and pain but also insight and laughter.
More than anything, this film makes its money with its style, somehow glossy and gritty at the same time, and deceptively simple. A really unique movie from a director I'm beginning to enjoy more and more.
The cool factor here is off the charts, but it's believable, too. A departure from the ordinary that you'll be glad you took.
