Brokeback Mountain
It was on TV the other night, but I only caught it 30 minutes in.
So I Sky+'d it anyway, but had the real sensation I 'd missed out and gave up on it within 10 minutes.
So I went to CEX - the place I sold many of my precious box sets when I was drinking.
As it's an older film, widely distributed they had it for £2.99. That'll do I thought.
Wow. More ex-y sexy than I thought. More emotional than I thought. And more realistic at the end. Major life events happen off screen and don't have cannons and fireworks and signal flares. And they hurt far more than buggery,
I cried spoons (being realistic - that's a lot).
Will watch again as a bittersweet treat like Manon des Sources, Muriel's Wedding etc
