Brokeback Mountain / USA / 2005

When all the hype and controversy has washed away- say, a week from now- what will we be left with? I think Brokeback Mountain will endure, perhaps not as a genuine all- time masterpiece, but as a timely work of liberal conscience and superb characterisation- the modern equivalent of To Kill A Mockingbird or Silkwood. There are images in this film- mostly of men standing proudly with fixed jaw- that will outlive us all, and certainly the feeble prejudices that inspired them. And my God, Heath Ledger’s performance is astounding.
