Brokeback Mountain / USA / 2005

Having read Annie Proulx’s original short story, my criticisms for Brokeback Mountain are the same token complaints that can be made for most films adapted from literary sources. The result satisfactorily depicts the essence of an impossible love. Here, however, the adaptation bears meticulous polishing, I presume, to make it more digestable.

Additionally, my thoughts are colored by David Ehrenstein’s comments at the Criterion Forum and his weblog.
