Year of the Horse

Director Jim Jarmusch and Neil Young, rock's immovable pillar, have become not only fruitful collaborators but also bosom buddies. Young contributed the score for Jarmusch's 1996 film, 'Dead Man', starring Johnny Depp, and Jarmusch showed his gratitude by directing the video for Young's song 'Big Time' for his '96 album, "Broken Arrow". Apparently, the pai, both rebels in their respective pantheons, found kindered spirits in each other and decided to extend their partnership. Thus, we've been blessed with Year Of The Horse, a fascinating documentary on the 30-year history of Neil Young and his faithful band Crazy Horse: bassist Billy Talbot, drummer Ralph Molina and guitarist Frank 'Poncho' Sampedro.
