Directed by Jacques Audiard, 2018’s “The Sisters Brothers” is a surreal postmodern Western, to quote /Film’s review of the movie. It plays like a classic Hollywood oater but slightly askew and refreshingly grounded, populating its setting with natural, awkward, human characters prone to fits of failure and suffused with bad luck. One might be tempted to describe the picture as a comedy, but anything that feels comedic is merely a result of the juxtaposition between the romance of the American West and the foibles its denizens have to deal with.
Early in the film, Eli Sisters (John C. Reilly) visits a trading post and is taught all about the modern miracle that is the toothbrush.
