Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Arizona Dream is a one-of-a-kind surrealist, Magic Realism film which meanders between a love story and a spirit quest, directed by Emir Kusturica and released in 1993.Axel (Johnny Depp) is a fish tagger in New York who would be content to spend his days communing with his fish, wanting for nothing. But his buddy Paul (Vincent Gallo) is determined to drag Axel away to Arizona to attend the wedding of Axel's uncle Leo (Jerry Lewis) to a young woman, Millie (Paulina Porizkova). There, Leo is intent to persuade Axel to work alongside him at his Arizona Cadillac dealership.Axel finds himself sticking around when he meets Elaine (Faye Dunaway) and her daughter Grace (Lili Taylor), and enters a lopsided love affair with the former while dealing with distractions from the latter.The whole cast generally mills about aimlessly like this. So does the story. Bizarre things happen. Then more bizarre things happen. And so on.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Black Comedy | |
| Arizona Dream / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: The dinner scene is the peak example. Probably the most hilarious slapstick attempted suicide ever filmed. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Arizona Dream / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Zigzagged. Most of the cast handles a gun at one point or another. Some of them even get fired. | |

Contemplate Our Navels: Axel's narration is pure philosophic existentialism, using fish metaphors. | |

Cast Full of Crazy | |
| Arizona Dream / int_bb2d4227 | comment |
Cast Full of Crazy: No need to follow an actual plot. Just sit back and watch the manic wind-up toys bounce off the walls and flail at each other. | |
