On recommendation from NY Times critic A.O. Scott we watched Dead Man. Ostensibly a black and white western directed by Jim Jaramusch, starring Johnny Depp (in 1995, before he had a British accent!). But really it's an allegorical journey of death. It's simultaneously completely grounded, and totally other worldly, helped in no small part by Neil Young's score.
