A Classic of Modern Cinema
Friday, February 18, 2011
A puritanical young girl seeks justice for the murder of her father. Her chosen champion is a man of a morally-ambiguous background - a reformed criminal with a penchant for bloody violence. Her hero has promised to save her, but must battle his own demons on the way.
Also noteworthy:
- Heavily stylized dialogue
- Stunning landscapes
- Bloody action
- Compelling historical setting
- Weather-related pathetic fallacies
The Coen Brothers' True Grit? No.
That's right, Solomon Motherfucking Kane.
