520 |a This article interrogates issues of violence and apocalypse in the 1994 film Natural Born Killers by Oliver Stone and in accompanying songs by composer-singer Leonard Cohen from his 1992 album ‘The Future’. This conjunction of cinematic and musical texts prompts an intertextual investigation, with a scene of a Navajo elder's murder by one of the film's protagonists serving as a major site for critical assessment and conjecture. Another such site is the lyrics of Cohen's songs played over the film's opening scenes and closing credits. These Juxtapositions are shown to raise questions about the role of the contemporary mass media in fomenting violence that has biblicalapocalyptic reverberations as well as provoking concern over whether the biblical medium itself can yet be a positive moral resource for our millennially-maddened culture.
