Blake and Nobody meander through a wilderness as shrubby and nondescript as a 50s B horror movie, all to the accompaniment of an echoey Neil Young gui ..

Or as the films resident wise Native American puts it, hes a stupid white man.

Beautifully shot in high contrast black and white, Dead Man fails not because of any one particular flaw, but instead stumbles, caught in a quagmire o ..

When Dead Man is imagining the Wild West as an infernal landscape of death, it is furiously alive. When it tries to reflect on those images, it begins ..

I was held by Depps transformation from white man non entity to the Jarmusch version of the affectless Man With No Name.

I dont mean to dismiss Dead Man as worthless, or meaningless. Jarmusch just happens to express himself in a deadpan manner that just happens to have n ..

What it says about Jarmusch, a hero among independent film makers and a master of cockeyed whimsy, is clear: He doesnt follow formulas, and there isnt ..

Visionary Western with interesting bits on the myth of the frontier, violence and artistic outlaws.
Spirituality And Practice

It is an American masterpiece and one of the best films of the 90s.

This isnt the kind of movie that can be digested easily or immediately.

In this movie, Jarmusch displays an uncanny knack of having absolutely nothing happening on the screen for long periods of time, fading to black, and ..

What was obvious in 1995 and the last quarter century has made increasingly clear is that Dead Man, aside from merely being a quiet masterpiece, is on ..

Dead Man is surprisingly bland. And it becomes more dull and more grotesque as it moves along.

The directors pacing and the relaxed and smooth editing by Jay Rabinowitz make for a dreamy show.

Minimalism defines this revisionist and challenging noir Western, a welcome artistic departure from Jarmuschs increasingly tired and tiresome Downtown ..

Dead Man ranks as an unusual creative effort from writer/director Jarmusch (Mystery Train). But its certainly not for everyone. I recommend it only fo ..

Its a trip all right, too, with peyote fuelled vision quests, a cross dressing frontiersman (played by Iggy Pop!)

I wont pretend that Jarmuschs austere poetry will speak to everyone...No matter. This strange, mystical Western is his most daring work his best since ..

I liked the film at its original length, and I think the shortened version is Jarmuschs best movie.

Dead Man is an elegiac poem of a film that examines our countrys shameful history of viciousness and racism.

Its completely irony free because its so convinced that it has something potent to say.

If not the best American Western of the 1990s, then certainly the most original and unusual.
