Dead Man

An incredibly beautiful film starring Johnny Depp, that turned the western genre inside out.

A young accountant who, coincidentally (?) has the name of the great romantic poet William Blake comes to work in the middle of nowhere, in the wildest west. The mores there could be much better: the inhabitants of the town are drunkards, dissolute women, and thugs-cowboys, and it's easier to catch a bullet than not to catch one. William did. So begins his journey in the company of an Indian named Nobody, who becomes his guide into the unknown.

«Dead Man» is not just a reinterpretation of the genre. This is an upside-down western, a western, as if it were filmed from the position of an Indian. The hero of the western movie strives to survive at any cost. The hero of the «Dead Man» is already more dead than alive (Depp's mask-like face suits it perfectly). He's on a journey between worlds. And he has nothing to lose.
