holy shit!!
a) best and most desperate western i've seen in a long time
b) one of the most violent non-asian movies i've seen in a while
really great stuff, and even more surprising to see the screenplay was written by nick cave [/b]
i thought it was good, but not great, perhaps due to unfairly high expectations. my fave movie is "dead man," another atypical western with a score by one of the all-time greats, and "the proposition" was no "dead man."
cave writes a lot of shit. i read his book "and the ass saw the angel," really faulkner-y in the whole southern gothic and you have no idea what's going on for pages at a time way.
