EARLY BUZZ FOR BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Posted by on September 5, 2005 in Film | 0 comments


A movie with Oscar potential and strong buzz, slated for release this December, that I am adding to my must-see list is Brokeback Mountain. Based on an award-winning short story by Annie Proulx (she also wrote The Shipping News) and directed by Ang Lee (who helmed 2 in my top 10 – The Ice Storm and Sense & Sensibility), Brokeback stars Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as two cowboys who share a secret romance. I have no idea whether Middle America is ready for this, even if the concept is cushioned by two very straight and aesthetically pleasing actors, but I will be standing in line on opening night.
