The Ballad of Buster Scruggs 2018

One of the beautiful aspects of a so-called Western is that a story can be stripped down to its essence without a lot of the interference that might come with other backdrops.  For example, the main story line from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was actually borrowed from a ninja movie.   In this film the Coen brothers have taken this freedom and extended it by making a series of shorts rather than a long-form film.  The shorts allow the viewer to get right to the heart of the conflict.

At different points in the film I thought that the overall piece was unlike anything that they've ever done but when it was said and done it was 100% Coens.  I thoroughly enjoyed the stories and the way they were told.
