CGiii Comment

What the hell was that!?!
 
It's episodic - each ending in blackout with an hideous out-of-tune guitar music.
 
The acting is...horrific. Depp is like a bunny caught in the headlights and 'Nobody' couldn't deliver a convincing line even after spending a lifetime studying at the The Actors Studio.
 
Iggy Pop as Sally...ludicrous!!!
 
Jarmusch is an acquired taste - arsenic is more palatable.

The(ir) Blurb...

In the late-1800s, the meek accountant from Cleveland, William Blake, spends the last of his already meagre savings to get to the frontier community of Machine where a job awaits him. Eager to make a fresh start, Blake arrives at his destination, only to discover that the position no longer exists. Gravely wounded and on the run from a relentless trio of bounty hunters after a deadly shoot-out, William flees the inhospitable industrial town and has a chance encounter with the enigmatic Native American spirit-guide named "Nobody", who believes Blake is the reincarnation of the visionary English poet, William Blake. Now, before the endless American wilderness, the two companions embark on a peril-laden odyssey of mysticism, transformation, and spirituality, until William crosses over into the spirit world. What lies on the other side?
