Simply one of the best films ever made; it was a deeply philosophical work that spoke on so many levels, a trippy western, a period noir, a black comedy, a film laden with symbolism, a poetic tribute to one of the greatest cultural icons, a film that addresses some burning issues like racism and violence and to top them all it was intensely atmospheric; I hardly have come across films whose mood grips your senses this effectively. Moreover, it is one of the greatest metaphysical journeys that has ever been put on film, imho.
I wonder if Jarmusch will ever be able to do something like this again. Having said that, it is the only Jarmusch film I have seen but going by the content of the rest of his films, I doubt if he has made anything like "Dead Man"(But then I don't know). I mean it's so deep it hits you like a whirlwind. It reminds of another seminal work "Naked" by Mike Leigh. And the similarities don't end there. Leigh, too, according to many including critics has failed to make anything thematically close to "Naked".
So, any help would be much appreciated regarding the content and style of Jarmusch's other films that are similar to "Dead Man" and recommendations of any other films like these two that I have mentioned. Thanks and cheers!!!
