A travel film and revisionist western, Dead Man tracks the journey of its protagonist William Blake (mistaken along the way for the dead poet) after he leaves Cleveland, Ohio to take up an accountant job in the frontier town of Machine. Things go awry and he must flee further west with a bullet lodged in his chest and a bounty on his head. Accompanied by the incredible guide Exaybachay, aka Nobody, Blake crosses numerous borders: between civilization and the frontier, between white and Native American culture, and finally between life and death. A mesmerizing vision quest from beginning to end, with its chiaroscuro cinematography and the reverberating roar of Neil Young’s score.
