The Proposition - (John Hillcoat;2005;Australia/UK)
An outlaw is given the proposition of killing his older brother to save his younger brother from the noose.
One of those films that comes by, combining a gritty and poetic quality all the same. The outback adds a very breathtaking and atmospheric quality to the film as well as the soundtrack which consists of traditional sounding strings and some more avant-garde use of sound editing. Guy Pearce and Ray Winstone were both great, especially Pearce in keeping a powerful presence in his scenes.
