An unusual but quietly pleasing film, wryly deconstructing the western before it was fashionable to do so, and in the end leaving a real feeling of both humanity and sadness as well as telling a story about America and how it was made. Warren Beatty and Julie Christie inhabit their characters, evolving (or perhaps revealing themselbes) organically before our eyes; indeed, the whole film feels very organic, soundtrack (entirely Leonard Cohen), camera-work, dialogue and all. I think that it'll stay with me.
