Dead Man

American writer and director Jim Jarmusch takes on the western genre with this eccentric and quirky film that stars Johnny Depp along with an all star cast. It's a weird film with some interesting moments and ideas that does not all add up into something great but remains a unique film unlike any other western. Jarmusch seems more interested in mood and style than story as it shows with the stunning black and white cinematography by Robby Müller and electronic score by Neil Young. The actors do well with the limited material but Gary Farmer stands out as Nobody to Depp's William Blake. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
