(Tommy Lee Jones, US 2005, 121 min., 35mm)

Ranch hand Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones) kidnaps border patrol officer Mike (Barry Pepper) who accidentally shot and killed Pete’s best buddy, illegal immigrant Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cedillo). Then Pete and Mike set out on a harrowing horseback journey to return Mel’s rapidly decaying body to his family in Mexico. Part horror movie and part classic Western, The Three Burials’ brilliant script is by Guillermo Arriaga, author of Amores Perros, 21 Grams, and Babel. Stylistically breathtaking, Jones’ feature directorial debut is one of the best American films of the current decade.
