McCabe & Mrs. Miller
McCabe & Mrs. Miller
A gambler and a prostitute become business partners in a remote Old West mining town, and their enterprise thrives until a large corporation arrives on the scene.

I can't say I'm into Westerns so I wasn't that keen when this was recommended to me and initially the vibes of the film tied in to with that fear. I suspect this was purposefully done because about twenty minutes in the film for me started to turn on its head.
It becomes glorious, rich and multilayered and without any usual 'Western' tropes that I understand.
There is a real sense of place and with the characters that inhabit that place there's a sense that they have been elsewhere and will eventually go elsewhere.
Moments, looks, shots and sounds all suggest experience and it allows the viewer to delve as deep as they want.
It's brilliant and highly recommended.
