Dead Man in Neverland

“To die would be an awfully big adventure” (Barrie, 1911: 107). Indeed, death and what happens after is a mystery that intrigues many, irreligious, spiritual or evangelical. The space between death and the afterlife plays a deep role in one’s understanding of fantasy. This essay will attempt to tackle this conundrum by analyzing and comparing two films, Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man (1995) and Marc Forster’s Finding Neverland (2004), and by referencing texts by notable authors on the fantastic.… Continue
