what lies beneath...

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2006)

hard to say in a few words how touching and impressive the performances of ledger and gyllenhaal are. this film is really unusual, in many ways. the whole time when nothing's happening at all, there happens so much. hard to explain. it lies in between... in the eyes, the moves, the gestures... a beautiful film, ang lee's best probably. the camera catches the unique landscape with its snow topped mountains, deep gorges, endless blue skies, the dusty roads of wyoming and you can't keep your eye away from it. next moment we're close on ennis who struggles with himself so hard it makes you cry. brokeback grabs your heart at least 24 hours after watching it. i swear...
