it's interesting, somehow Jarmusch always gets the $$ to crank out another film.
maybe it's because his films are so well received in Europe and abroad. but i
felt that Neil Young's music for Dead Man was one of the best albums of the
year. and forget the overlauded Trainspotting soundtrack - this one is it. i
think, Dead Man will probably become, as someone else has noted, a cult film
with a devoted audience. it's a shame, because the film really deserves more
exposure.
