BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Description:

Groundbreaking for its positive depiction of gay love in a mainstream film, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is so much more than its subject matter. Heath Ledger's performance as repressed cowboy, Ennis, is an astonishing exercise in restraint, and began to show the world of what this prodigiously talented actor was capable, and co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, and Anne Hathaway shine brightly beside him under Ang Lee's empathetic direction. Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is a bone-deep exploration of love and one of the most important and profound works of modern American Cinema.
