...Western is a major achievement for Jarmusch, and an intense, sensual experience for the audience. While the William Blake theme is somewhat inconclusively handled, it does create a literary feel to the work which increases its intellectual potency. This is also true of the epigram from Henri Michaux which opens the film and gives it its title: "It is preferable not to travel with a dead man." Jarmusch explains this quote with an intriguing vagueness characteristic of his films: "I'm not exactly sure what that's supposed to mean...I'd like to have it on my gravestone...
...represents not just an attempt to concentrate black voters but also a bit of traditional gerrymandering, as the Democratic state legislature strove to avoid siphoning away too many black Democrats from incumbents in adjoining districts. The resulting line segment cleaves so closely to the Interstate that state representative Mickey Michaux, who is black, jokes, "You could drive down I-85 with both doors open and kill everybody in the district."

...Rolly-Michaux's Sunday afternoon preview, however, did not just afford a glimpse of viewers as preoccupied with each other's reactions to art as with the art itself. The paintings on exhibit include 10 works rarely seen in this country by the Post-Impressionist Georges Binet (1865-1949) and a rich collection of recent works by the 65-year-old Rouen artist, Albert Malet, who has been called "the last of the Impressionists." The paintings are very different in spirit but alike in quality; this is a small exhibition, but you will want to linger long...
