    I'm really not too sure what the purpose of the the film was - what it was trying to tell me about itself, about the physical frontiers of man, money or morals. What it was saying about religion or wealth, or family or conviction - none of these are really that clear to me.

    But jeez, what a brilliantly muddy, beautifully ugly, starkly rich, warmly cold, richly spartan movie. It drew me right in to the American wildish west, so much so that I felt a distinct chill when we spilled out on to Holloway Road afterwards.

    I don't know why, but I highly recommend it.
