Dead Man tells the story of William Blake (played by Johnny Depp), an accountant from Cleveland who travels to a frontier town called Machine to be the bookkeeper in the town’s metalwork company. Finding the job has been filled, Blake has no money or prospects and ends up as a wanted man on the run, his only friend an Indian named Nobody (Gary Farmer). Set to a largely improvised solo score by Neil Young, Jarmusch dubbed the black-and-white film a “psychedelic Western,” as it delicately plays on classic Western themes. It has become something of a cult classic, with wonderful performances by Depp and an excellent cast.
