Storyline

This is one of the best doc. about the West that I have seen. I love the tone and the time the director takes with her lingering camera on the faces of the people who tell their stories. I even like how she crosses Billy's story with Rimbaud... There is not a single hint of the usual sneering French irony when it comes to people of the actual United States... Even the negative comments of Rudy Wurlitzer about the trend in US history toward George W. Bush didn't really bother as I realized that probably only people who are favorably disposed to Bush or at least are prepared to admit the complexity of Bush as a man and as president are watching movies like this. I hope the director will do another doc... remembering slowness is all. How about the Gunfight at the OK corral?
