2005 | DCP | US | D: Ang Lee
Based on the short story by Annie Proulx, Ennis (Heath Ledger) and Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) spend one wondrous summer together and the rest of their lives struggling to reconcile their feelings within the constraints of their 1960s lives.
Ang Lee’s poignant, visually striking film explores themes of love, longing, and the costs of repression with quiet intensity and emotional depth.
‘Brokeback Mountain is the story of how most of our lives, gay and straight, are defined by one moment in which things go gloriously and naturally right, when everything falls into place, but which is then infected by the bacilli of wrongness.’ – The Guardian
