This is one of those movies you are either likely to love... or really hate. There is alot that you might not like... pretentious, poetic, quirky for the sake of being quirky, historica anachronisms, Iggy Pop, Crispin Glover, over-bearing score by Neil Young. I can see all of these complaints intellectually, but for some reason, I still find this movie hypnotic.
Think David Lynch making a movie about the old West starring Depp. It may not even include any real events... the whole movie may be taking place in some sort of limbo before the afterlife... similar to Jacob's Ladder. Whether you like it or not.... it is an undeniably strange journey... and beautifully photographed in stunning black and white. If you enjoy Jarmusch and are in the mood for something a bit off the beaten path, this just might be your cup of joe.
This clip from early in the movie should give you a taste...
