Episode 34 : DEAD MAN / Top 3 “Movie Fugitives”

Summary: Up next in the Q is the (1995) Jim Jarmusch classic   DEAD MAN   starring Johnny Depp, Gary Farmer and a ridiculously fantastic posse of cameos! This exquisite noir western tells the tale of  William Blake (Depp), a newly-orphaned accountant who leaves his home in Cleveland to accept a job in the frontier town of Machine. Upon his arrival, Blake is told by the factory owner Dickenson that the job has already been filled. Dejectedly, he enters a nearby tavern, ultimately spending the night with a former prostitute. A violent altercation with the woman's lover ,also Dickinson's son, leaves Blake a murderer as well as mortally wounded, a bullet lodged dangerously close to his heart. He flees into the wilderness, where a Native American named Nobody (Farmer) mistakes Blake for the English poet William Blake and determines that he will be Blake's guide in his protracted passage into the spirit world while a band of ruthless hired guns are close behind.
