Patrick deWitt's
The Sisters Brothers is one of the funniest western adventures I've ever read. It's possible my memory doesn't serve me right, but anyways the movie (directed by
Jacques Audiard) ain't as thoroughly funny, sarcastic and wild as the novel. It kind of tries to be, at the beginning at least, but the atmosphere navigates towards more sombre vibrations. By no means, it doesn't mean it wasn't a good movie, it is, just didn't give what I came in for and, in all honesty, it doesn't quite know what it's trying to say. Bounty hunters and prospectors and the infamous western chief The Commodore (the great
Rutger Hauer in one of his final roles) in search of chemical formula to find gold.
