Brokeback Breaking News

These are the words of the editor of europeanfilms.net, who saw Brokeback Mountain at the Venice Film Festival:

"Lee and his cast and crew have done the near impossible; they have translated one of the most acclaimed American novellas of modern times onto the screen and deliver something that is on par, if not better, than the work that inspired it and yet is completely respectful of its source material."


I hope he's right. It would break my heart if Ang Lee made a wet noodle out of this one. But then again, he's no sitting duck.
