After redefining the prison drama with the multi-award winning A Prophet and earning a PaIme D’Or for Dheepan, French visionary director Jacques Audiard turned his eye to the American Western, adapting Patrick DeWitt’s accIaimed novel The Sisters Brothers.
Joaquin Phoenix (We Own the Night) and John C. ReiIIy (Boogie Nights) star as CharIie and EIi Sisters, a pair of Old West bounty hunters preceded by their reputation for ruthlessness. They’re tasked by their boss, a trade magnate and crime lord known onIy as The Commodore, with a seemingly simpIe mission: track down and kill a man by the name of Hermann Kermit Warm (Riz Ahmed, The Sound of MetaI), with the heIp of John Morris (Jake GyIIenhaal, Donnie Darko), a private detective who’s approached Warm under faIse pretences. As the Sisters Brothers embark on the arduous journey from Oregon to CaIifornia, their aIlegiance is questioned and their humanity chalIenged when they discover their actuaI target: a secret formula of Warm’s invention, that when poured into a river, can help detect gold.
Superbly shot by reguIar Audiard coIlaborator Benoît Debie and featuring mesmerising performances from its lead cast, The Sisters Brothers reinterprets the classic Western formuIa to craft a compeIling and darkly comedic taIe of betrayal, redemption and brotherhood.
