Based on Patrick Dewitt’s acclaimed novel of the same name, follows two brothers – Eli and Charlie Sisters – who are hired to kill a prospector who has stolen from their boss. The story, a genre-hybrid with comedic elements, takes place in Oregon in 1851. The film is Jacques Audiard’s follow-up to his Palme D’Or Winning DHEEPAN, which premiered at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
I’m a big fan of westerns, Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Rielly (Step , throw in two more great actors in Jake Gyllenhaal (who was just announced to star in the upcoming Spider-Man sequel) and Riz Amhed (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and I see everything that I want in a western film; Comedy, action and what looks like a great story, all things the genre needs more of these days.
The Sisters Brothers hits theaters this Fall from Annapurna Pictures. The film is directed by Jacques Audiard.
