Lost and badly wounded, he encounters a very odd, outcast Native American (Gary
Farmer), named "Etchebetse" (the-who-speaks-loud-says-nothing) who
calls himself "Nobody". Etchebetse believes Blake is actually the
dead English poet of the same name. The story, with Nobody's help, leads Blake through situations that are in turn comical and violent. Contrary to his nature,circumstances transform Blake into a hunted outlaw, a killer, and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away. Thrown into a world that is cruel and chaotic, his eyes are opened to the fragility that defines the realm of the living. It is as though he passes through the surface of a mirror, and emerges into a previously unknown world that exists on the other side.
By Jim Jarmush, with Johnnie Depp, Gary Farmer, Robert Mitchum, Mili Avital
