DVD details for for
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005)

The big screen directing debut of Tommy Lee Jones is a magnificent modern western, an odyssey turned last rites for a friend. His unhurried and focused direction pares away the dense storylines of the script as the determined cowboy (Jones) and his captive (Barry Pepper) ride out of society and into the Mexican desert. Julio Cesar Cedillo, January Jones and Dwight Yoakam co-star and the original script Guillermo Arriaga ("Amores Perros" and "21 Grams") won the Best Screenplay award at Cannes in 2005. Widescreen and full screen versions on the same disc.
