Bone Tomahawk (2015)

This week we kick off 21st Century Westerns Month, where we'll discuss the similarities and difference between modern films in this genre and their predecessors from the early days of Hollywood. Kicking things off, 2015's Bone Tomahawk, a throwback to early westerns with a very contemporary sensibility. It's the first film from writer/director S. Craig Zahler, and features an unbelievable cast. It's also controversial for its brutality, which we get into. ____________________STILL TO COME DURING 21ST CENTURY WESTERNS MONTH:5/12: Wind River (2017, directed by Taylor Sheridan)5/19: 3:10 to Yuma Double Feature (1957 and 2007, directed by Delmer Davies and James Mangold)5/26: No Country for Old Men (2007, directed by Joel and Ethan Coen)On Letterboxd?
