The Sisters Brothers (2018)
Country: FR/SP/ROM/BEL/US
Technical: col/2.39:1 122m
Director: Jacques Audiard
Cast: John C. Reilly, Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal, Riz Ahmed
Synopsis:
Guns for hire hunt down a man with a chemical formula for detecting gold in water, but their employer has also employed a detective who decides to throw in with their quarry, whose dream is to use the gold to establish a utopian society in Texas.
Review:
Patrick DeWitt's novel gives voice to the characters that are normally the lowest form of life in Westerns. It incidentally also provides this director with another portrayal of brute masculinity touched with tenderness. All that is left for the viewer is to settle comfortably into the saddle for a long ride, some mighty ungeneric dialogue, and earthily gruesome trail detail. The 'take home' is perhaps that shortcuts to beatific vision never work, and you can do worse than going home to momma. The film-making is breathtakingly good at times, and it was all shot in Europe.
