In
Ride With The Devil, Ang Lee brings to life an American Civil War story of uneasy alliances on the Kansas/Missouri border, combining showy raw and brutal combat scenes with fine-grained observation and a muted visual palette.
Pocket Money, the oddball modern-day cow-poke Western comedy - shot by Laszlo Kovacs and directed by Stuart Rosenberg of
Cool Hand Luke fame - is now even more intriguing given that Terrence Malick (
Badlands, The Thin Red Line) not only wrote it, but also has a cameo role.
