However, the love of the public and critics did not bring him official recognition. The Academy ignores this and will continue to do so.

With him she acts in Don Juan De Marco teacher of love and calls him to join him 3 years later in his (unjustly) reviled directorial debut, The brave. In the nineties, few people keep up with the pace of Depp with equally interesting projects: the metaphysical western of Jim Jarmush Dead Man, the thriller Minutes numbered, Donnie Brasco alongside Al Pacino and the cult Fear and delirium in Las Vegas of Terry Gilliam (1999), where he plays the eccentric American journalist and writer Hunter S. Thompson. The two become friends and after the writer’s suicide in 2005 it will be Depp to pay and organize the bizarre funeral he requested, complete with a cannon to shoot his ashes.
