Nineteenth-century Ohio accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) lands a new job at a frontier town called Machine, but before long he kills a man in self-defense, is pursued by bounty hunters, and is helped by an Indian who thinks Blake is the reincarnation of his poet namesake. It's a "psychedelic western" as only director Jim Jarmusch could make, filled with offbeat humor and mythical symbolism. Co-stars Gary Farmer, Lance Henriksen, and Robert Mitchum; music by Neil Young.
