dreamless sleep of a DEAD MAN


















one nightmare is usually one too many but there are exceptions. jim jarmucsh is a highly respected independent filmmaker and johnny depp is, well, the guy.
their talents came together to create a visionary tale in stunning black and white that generously included alfred molina, gabriel byrne, the legendary robert mitchum, gary farmer (who gets to be 'nobody') and the inimitable iggy pop.
this movie is a work of art that shares moments of extreme unpleasantness with moments of exquisite beauty. the great neil young plays guitar throughout.
