(Jim Jarmusch, US 1996, 120 min., 35mm)
In a major artistic leap forward for writer/director Jarmusch, Johnny Depp stars as William Blake, an accountant from Cleveland who takes a job in the Wild West town of Machine. When he accidentally murders the son (Gabriel Byrne) of the local tycoon (Robert Mitchum), he finds himself running from a pack of hired killers and taking solace in the spiritual wisdom of Nobody (Gary Farmer), a Native American outcast. The extraordinary cast also includes Crispin Glover, Billy Bob Thornton, Alfred Molina, and Iggy Pop.
