Johnny Depp (CHOCOLAT) delivers a remarkable performance in this highly acclaimed tale of adventure and intrigue in the wild, wild west! A young man in search of a fresh start, William Blake (Depp) embarks on an exciting journey to a new town ... never realizing the danger that lies ahead. But when a heated love triangle ends in double murder, Blake finds himself a wanted man, running scared -- until a mysterious loner teaches him to face the dangers that follow a "dead man." With an outstanding supporting cast including Gabriel Byrne (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) and Robert Mitchum (CAPE FEAR), and a sizzling soundtrack, DEAD MAN is another motion picture triumph from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.

Summary: Very Much Alive
Comment: A rabid fan or not of the Director or Johnny Depp, this film is worth viewing for its courageousness, risk and overall success. A mood piece with the varying landscapes serving to set tone, the actors all have an understated approach to their performances, even when the script, or ad libbing would have made an over the top performance too easy. A film in which Iggy Pop can play a clearly feminine "man" with some believability, though suspension of belief in the rational world is an good attribute to have when viewing this picture, makes this a successful film. No in between here though, you will either see it and not choose to see it again, or buy it and watch it over and over. Its got a hook - watch out!

Summary: "FUNKY PRETTY"
Comment: If you liked PAPER MOON, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, ERASERHEAD, LONESOME DOVE, PLEASANTVILLE, this deserves a big look-see. You may or may not want to look past the gratuitous bloodshead and concentrate on the cinematography, characters and the story--the fragility of life for those souls who traversed our frontier. Yet they all had a place, a part to play for us to be here today. And the message of the Indian, Nobody (played so perfectly by Farmer), the philosophy behind the journey of our spirit, our soul. Of course, it is a dreamlike fantasy, so beautifully shot, and peppered with cameos by Robert Mitchum, Billy Bob Thornton, Gabriel Byrne, to name a few. It is a masterpiece. I have never seen the contrasts between the black and white so artfully done. The facial features so genuinely displayed and acted. One to watch over and over again. Depp at his best in another "artist's movie." The haunting guitar solos that are provided by Neil Young are otherworldy and perfectly synchronized for an experience of the senses.

Summary: A renowned masterwork!
Comment: Dead man constitutes a golden cinematographic jewel in all senses. Not only because it develops a mesmerizing and mature script, but besides carves in relief the vital importance of the author's cinema's genre, so overlooked for many people but that must survive in order to point the several directions of the lucid conscious iof any honest artist.
Depp is wounded man who must escape from both bounty hunters. One can not let to associate a mite of Wender and Italian Neo realism's influences around this existential journey where he will meet a cast of unthinkable personages along the way that conform a social puzzle that are not kept in mind due its small relevance.
A wonderful masterpiece.

Summary: Go Johnny Depp!
Comment: This is an interesting legend, a somewhat confusing at times mystery which will make you laugh or make you sad, although you must watch it completely from start to finish otherwise you will be totally confused. Johnny Depp was the main character in this black and white masterpiece, with co stars like Billy Bob Thorton,Gary Farmer and Crispin Glover. This movie you either love or you will hate, its worth a try none the less..

Summary: Dead Man
Comment: Neil Young's haunting music creates the mood in this movie. A man's quest for a better life turns to havoc once he his train ride reaches the town of Machine "the end of the line". Johnny Depp is marvelous!
