No reason old formulas can't be reworked. But director Alan J. Pakula maintains such a somber mood that the whole thing is a downer except for the stunning photography of Gordon Willis.
Comes a Horseman is one of the most exciting and elliptical love stories that we have been given to think about in a very long time. [Full Review in Spanish]
Moves in fits and starts, and the ending, while a stark reminder of the resilience of the American west, comes out of left field
Pakula approaches the open spaces of the frontier to escape from urban claustrophobia and instead finds reflections of it
A good-enough Western that I can only really recommend to genre fans, or people who have some particularly strong affection for one or another of the actors.
Desperately tries to become monumental in the manner of a John Ford metaphorical Western.
