The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Directed by Tommy Lee Jones

With a time-shifting screenplay by Guillermo Arriaga (writer of AMORES PERROS), Jones’ directorial début is a politically charged, Peckinpah-tinged Western set in the Tex-Mex borderlands. Ranch foreman Pete kidnaps the man responsible for the murder of his best friend, and the two make a long and dangerous trek south to bring Estrada’s body home. Veteran British cinematographer Chris Menges turns the stunning landscapes into an equally important character.
