The Proposition
Co-written with Nick Cave and with a searing soundtrack from him, this revisionist outback Western stars Guy Pearce as Charlie Burns a man who must choose whether to sacrifice one brother to save another. Brutal, fable-like, consumed with death, loneliness and betrayal, as to be expected from the gothic mind of Nick Cave, one of the most highly anticipated Australian films in years did not disappoint.
