Dubbed a 'Psychedelic Western' by writer and director Jim Jarmusch, Dead Man stars Johnny Depp, Billy Bob Thornton, and Iggy playing the part of Salvatore ‘Sally’ Jenko, a cross-dressing, Bible-reading fur trader. Shot entirely in black and white, the film includes twisted elements of the Western genre, and a soundtrack composed by Neil Young.
The screening on 35mm includes an introduction by Paul Trynka, author of the acclaimed biography Iggy Pop: Open Up and Bleed.
