Brokeback Mountain
Set against the sweeping vistas of Wyoming and Texas, the film tells the story of two young men – a ranch-hand and a rodeo cowboy – who meet in the summer of 1963, and unexpectedly forge a life-long connection, one whose complications, joys and tragedies provide a testament to the endurance and power of love.
From Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Ang Lee comes an epic American love story, Brokeback Mountain, based on the short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Annie Proulx and adapted for the screen by the team of Pulitzer prize-winning author, Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana.
Critic Reviews:
- " What is remarkable about the film is how it doesn't politicise the homosexuality theme, transcends it to become the story of two people in doomed love. The two lead characters are wonderfully delineated. " – Namrata Joshi
- " [A] powerful and moving film, a smart study of relationships that could but can't and never will be. " – Damon Wise
- " Brokeback Mountain serves as something of an antidote to the incessant homophobic harping. " – Joanne Laurier
