The Sisters Brothers: It's Golden

French director Jacques Audiard brings us the best Western since...forever. The brothers (John C. Reilly & Joaquin Phoenix) are hit men during the California gold rush and unwitting employees of a creep known as The Commodore. It's 1851 and they're in pursuit of a guy with a so-called foolproof formula for finding the shiny stuff.

A detective (Jake Gyllenhaal) is also on this gold diggers trail.

The beauty of this flick is in the vast green expanses and jutting mountain ridges of the West and within the hearts and souls of the four men who come together on this fool's errand.

Sure there's violence. But never gratuitous.

Merci, Jacques for giving the Movie Slut this cinematic gem.
