Plot: On the run after murdering a man, accountant William Blake encounters a strange North American man named Nobody who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world.



It's a Western but not as you know it. Highly individual, unusual, violent, shockingly so...there's even cannibalism.... yet it somehow manages to be funny. Beautifully shot in black and white, it's as quirky and poetic as the hero's namesake, William Blake.
Fantastic score from Neil Young.
