A Bleak, Eastern European, Existentialist - Artistic Interpretation

A bleak, Eastern European, existentialist - artistic interpretation of the human condition set in the mythical wild west; where the gun rules the day.

In other words a fringe flick, which also happens to be clumsily concocted.

So, this "film" is a waste of time for pretty much all of us.

But, like one of those weird abstract paintings - sometimes it can be interesting to try and figure out what the artist is trying to communicate; "sometimes".

Also titled "Dead Man's Bounty".

It's almost as if the "dead man" serves as a "MacGuffin" (a plot device - which turns out not to be very important). Actually, the use of a fairly well known actor (Kilmer) in such a role might be a "stroke of genius"?

Well, anyway - I kind of wish I'd never seen this piece of art and I found it difficult to stomach (thank goodness for commercial breaks) - but - maybe, lost in translation, there is something to be gotten from it.

No there isn't. I found it to be hilarious. Some scenes were very well shot but that's it.
