Okay, let me tell you about The Proposition. This Australian Western, directed by John Hillcoat and with a script by Nick Cave, is a truly gritty and unsettling film. It stars a fantastic cast – Guy Pearce, Ray Winstone, Emily Watson, John Hurt… the list goes on. The story is set way back in the 1880s and centers around a captured outlaw, Charlie Burns, and a horrifying deal. Basically, to save his brother Mikey from execution, Charlie has to hunt down and kill another brother, Arthur, who’s accused of some truly terrible crimes.
