Wow. Finally a long-awaited piece of art that may live up to its potential.
Been longing to see Brokeback Mountain for a good five years now.
And since most art fails, of course odds were against me--in spite of one of my favorite directors.
But it just won the Venice Film Festival, so that's a great hopeful sign.
At the worst, that prolly means it doesn't suck.
At best . . .
Could be a major pop culture moment.
Gay cowboys in love. Hard to beat that. And two rising stars in Hollywood kissing. Can't wait.
More later -- just heard on BBC radio before I went out. Much more to tell.
