John C. Reilly,Joaquin Phoenix,Jake Gyllenhaal, andRiz Ahmedstar inThe Sisters Brothers, a melancholy, surreal saga about violence and regret. DirectorJacques Audiardcrafts an elegant, often brutal and altogether remarkable story about two brothers – Reilly and Phoenix – who work as hired guns. They’re on a quest to track down a prospector (Ahmed), who is also being pursued by a private detective (Gyllenhaal). That may sound like a straightforward story, but the wayThe Sisters Brothersunfolds is anything but typical.

I sawThe Sisters Brothersat TIFF, and thought it was one of the best films I saw at the fest. As I said in myreview:

Sad, surreal and often quite bleak,The Sisters Brothersis simultaneously inviting and repellent. The world of the film – captured through gorgeous, painterly cinematography byBenoît Debie– is often vibrant and inviting. The best movies are those we wish we could climb inside and stay a while, and that’s exactly the vibeThe Sisters Brothersgives off. And yet, the film is punctuated with bursts of shocking, disturbing violence. This polarizing blend might repulse some viewers, while others will been enchanted.

This is a good trailer, all things considered. I realize it’s going to be a difficult to sell this quirky film to a mainstream crowd, but I sincerely hopeThe Sisters Brothersfinds an audience.
