A Fantastic Acid Western


Dead Man (1995)
Directed by Jim Jarmusch, rated R, 121 minutes

Dead Man is a black and white, "psychedelic western" about an accountant (perfectly played by Johnny Depp) who is chased by a group of bounty hunters for a murder he didn't commit. The film has surreal elements, and the plot has a similar structure and feel of Apocalypse Now. Dead Man has a fantastic cast including Robert Mitchum, Iggy Pop, Billy Bob Thorton, Crispin Glover and many more, and also has a killer soundtrack by Neil Young. Dead Man has an authentic feel and is entertaining till the very end, a must see for fans of westerns. You'll like it if: You like westerns, surreal films, Apocalypse Now or Johnny Depp.
