  • One of the most amazing films with one of the best soundtracks ever recorded. So surreal and beautiful. I love the smokey black and white photography. Too bad people would rather watch overstimulated frenzies of CGI and cliches than films that transport them to other levels of consciousness.

  • I wouldn't call it a western myself, it is far more than that. To me it's about the dirty reality of life and more importantly death, after all, life is the door to death.

    The hell is here. His journey to death is explained as the journey back to where he came ... back to where all spirits came from.

    I've watched it many times and I always feel so calm and peaceful by the end, with just the guitar licks floating around in my head for the next day or so.

    The best movie ever.

  • "stupid fucking white man"

  • I think I have a man-crush on A.O. Scott. Most of the time, I like his interpretations of films more than I like the actual films.

  • PLEASE, SOME TOBACCO....

  • Generally , I dislike contemporary westerns. This film, obscured for over a decade by the onslaught of the internet- which occurred, simultaneously- and my own estrangement from the western genre, surpasses all the movies made in the 1990s. Jarmusch's greatest aspirations of vision & sounds, enmeshed, so far.

  • My favorite all times film!

    Its about whole humans's life track.

    Love and Peace from Russia.

  • a beautiful story "haunted by memories of genocide, environmental desaster, greed and violence" such as are the bases of modern US.

  • Glad to see quality reviews like this still exist.

  • By far the best Western ever made and probably about the best ever. It and ghost dog
