Superb

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2012)

After watching Brokeback Mountain, I bought a collection of short stories including Brokeback Mountain (Proulx). That's a compliment :) I thought the film is tremendous. One of my favorites that came out relatively not too many years ago. Some others are City of God; The Last King of Scotland; and Drive.
I must say I watched Brokeback Mountain a while ago, and only recently started reviewing here, so I can't go into as much detail as some others here are doing on this film and neither do I much like that. I just want to point out to potential viewers that I highly recommend this one and they can, if they are of the opinion as me, check out some other films I think are ... superb.
Anyways, acting in the film is top. Cinematography, poignancy, depth, all excellent. I don't remember much of the soundtrack, alas.
All in all, a gem of a film.
It was either due to Jake Gyllenhaal's performance in Brokeback Mountain, that I finally went out to see Donnie Darko (2001) or the other way around, but I have to say the guy has already appeared in quite a few notable films. Don't miss out on DD, October Sky (1999), Zodiac (2007).
