SOB O SOL DO OESTE

It’s the Wild West, circa 1870. Samuel Alabaster, an affluent pioneer, ventures across the American frontier to marry the love of his life, Penelope. As his group traverses the west, the once-simple journey grows treacherous, blurring the lines between hero, villain and damsel.

O damsel, where art thou? Revamping the western to poke fun at worn-out savior stories, the Zellner Brothers reach outlandishly funny and filthy horizons. Robert Pattison is a far cry from a stoic cowboy as a coarse troubadour in search of his honeybun, played by Mia Wasikowska with ferocious grit.
