A daring, poetic, mystical western, "Dead Man" (1995) is a masterpiece of avant-garde cinema. Johnny Depp plays a man who becomes a fugitive after murdering a man in self-defense. Wounded and fleeing from bounty hunters, he meets Gary Farmer, a wandering Native American who pledges to help him into the world of spirits. Directed by Jim Jarmusch and co-starring Gabriel Byrne, Lance Henriksen and Crispin Glover, "Dead Man" is a surrealist tour de force.

Expert Review:
Jim Jarmusch’s anti-western shows William Blake (Johnny Depp) heading west to earn his fortune—but the journey takes an ugly turn. Mortally wounded and outlawed, he is found by Nobody (Gary Farmer), who is light-years beyond the stock “noble savage.” Calling him the poet Blake, Nobody vows to take him to the spirit world. Blake travels west with his guide, becoming the outlaw/spirit people name him, killing his way across the Northwest to his destiny in this darkly funny film. By Bucko of Cowboylands
