The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)

Surprisingly another good one for the Oscars. Brad Pitt is good but Casey Affleck is fantastic. The image is great as the number of 'tricks' that it plays on us. There's more to say about colours and camera movement but you should just watch it. This may be a western but it is not what it sounds like. Gunshots and robberies amount to meditative states. The plot is discovered in a nice painful pace. Yeap - another one to watch. The weak trailer:
