!Medicine para Pesadillas is starting a movie night and you are all invited!

Noche de Movies will happen the last Wednesday of every month featuring movies of the strange y chingon kind. Hosted by the pinche pochxs soledad con carne y Josiah Luis Alderete.

This month’s feature is Jim Jarmusch’s strange and beautiful neo-western “Dead Man”

With Dead Man, his first period piece, Jim Jarmusch imagined the nineteenth-century American West as an existential wasteland, delivering a surreal reckoning with the ravages of industrialization, the country’s legacy of violence and prejudice, and the natural cycle of life and death. Accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) has hardly arrived in the godforsaken outpost of Machine before he’s caught in the middle of a fatal lovers’ quarrel. Wounded and on the lam, Blake falls under the watch of the outcast Nobody (Gary Farmer), who guides his companion on a spiritual journey, teaching him to dispense poetic justice along the way. Featuring austerely beautiful black-and-white photography by Robby Müller and a live-wire score by Neil Young, Dead Man is a profound and unique revision of the western genre.

Microwave palomitas will be provided.
