Reseñas (1)
Gene Hackman is an uncouth macho farmer with minimal education and experience with women, who also lives in the middle of nowhere from the perspective of society at that time, where foxes say goodnight, and Liv Ullmann is a poor maid with no dowry, who is at the age when it is high time to start a family. Neither of them can be too choosy when it comes to a partner, and they are simply left over for each other. The story takes place in the farthest American West, actually near the Pacific coast, but you would be searching in vain for any typical western elements. It is occasionally a truly bitter study of a conflicted relationship between two completely different people, devoid of any romance. The two of them have to figure out how to get along because the other options are still a bit worse. I like the sobriety of the script, which allows for no somersaults and melodramatic twists. The participation of the great actors elevates this historical drama to a four-star affair. Overall impression: 75%.
