A good movie is an act of will and talent and work. And an accident of grace and luck. It's important to remember that. How often even the best artists with the best script and the best cast and the best intentions have fallen flat on their faces. I'll say it again.
Movies are miracles.
A film of astounding beauty and originality. A western parable about capitalism, conmen and whores. A lyrical romantic lithograph of something very dirty and ugly and ramshackle. The jokes are kind of crude. But there is a hapless lovability to it all.
