Overview
One of the late Heath Ledger's finest hours: a haunting, beautiful adaptation of E Annie Proulx's short story centring on how the mutual passion of young cowboys Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal in 1960s Wyoming ruins their lives. Ledger's performance is intensely moving in a quiet, subtly told tale that achieves a real sense of tragedy. [John Schlesinger] seems much at home with this Thomas Hardy tale of Wessex folk, and his direction is enhanced by Nicolas Roeg's seductive camerawork and Frederic Raphael's script. Julie Christie, the archetypal 1960s modern miss, is a little out of place in period costume, her ambitious Bathsheba torn between dashing Terence Stamp, wealthy Peter Finch and poor Alan Bates's rude rustic.
