'Dead Man' (1995)


In the surreal frontier of Jim Jarmusch's muddy, bloody, beautiful, and explosively violent Old West, Depp's mild-mannered bookkeeper William Blake embarks on an absurdist odyssey that transforms him from Eastern everyman to wounded outlaw on the run. Unraveling at a leisurely 130 minutes, with spare, striking black-and-white imagery, the bizarre western teeters from the serene to punctuations of absurd humor and sudden violence, and Depp sinks into a trance-like performance as he slowly bleeds out of the world. This is a rare film where Depp's character may be the only normal guy on the screen.
