The Proposition (2005)
Movie
Released
An Australian lawman offers one brother's life in exchange for another, turning the pursuit into an ugly test of what colonial order means. John Hillcoat and writer Nick Cave make the landscape beautiful without making the violence cleansing. This Australian-British western is a severe choice, with racism and cruelty interrupting any comfortable admiration for frontier toughness.
