    a beautiful study
    Poirier's film is as good a study of loneliness as anything you're likely to see. (PT Anderson's Magnolia is on the same level.) Nino's search for love is heartbreaking and, the film uses all its various scenes to underline how loneliness affects everything the characters do. The men wander, but the film doesn't.

    Western is gentle, delicate, and touching--and manages to avoid any sentimentality. In other words, a rare gem.
