A surreal crime drama told as only Jim Jarmusch could tell it, Known for his gift of being able to come and go without people noticing him, Ghost Dog is a self-taught samurai who is obsessed with order and his strict personal moral code, drawn from the philosophies of the Japanese warriors. As every samurai needs a leader to whom he swears loyalty, Ghost Dog has devoted himself the service of Louie, a low level crime boss who saved his life as a child. When Louie's superiors decide he's outlived his usefulness, Ghost Dog leaps into action, methodically wiping out his many enemies.But finally his master shoots him.
Along with a dizzying series of stylized shoot-outs, Ghost Dog also features carrier pigeons, 10-year-old kids who read Rashomon, a French-speaking ice cream man, etc.
