The Ballad of Bister Scruggs is a 2018 Coen Brothers Western anthology film. It stars Tim Blake Nelson, Tyne Daly, James Franco, Brendan Gleeson, Harry Melling, Liam Neeson, Saul Rubinek, and Tom Waits, and features six vignettes that take place on the American frontier. This is an amazing film, shocking, touching, and funny by turns and always surprising. I watched it on Netflix.

DeleteThis is one of those times I wish I had Netflix. This sounds hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to like it so much.
DeleteI think I might have seen this, but I think I'm going to add it to my to watch list in case I haven't. Westerns are one of my favorite genres. They also remind me of being a kid and watching them with my dad. That's always a nice thing-thank you for that.
