![]() ![]() ![]() The Sisters brothers are blunt men with little patience for bullshit, but Eli’s narration reveals him to be more introspective than your typical gunslinger. ![]() Eli and his brother Charlie are veteran hitmen in 1850s Oregon, working for a rich man called the Commodore. The resulting movie doesn’t quite reinvent the Western, but it does take the genre in an uncommon direction.ĭeWitt’s novel delivers its humour and its pathos via narrator Eli Sisters. Despite (or really, because of) this, the film is a great example of an intelligent adaptation that respects the source material enough to know when to be faithful and when to be its own thing. Jacques Audiard’s new film adaptation of that novel is significantly less funny. Patrick deWitt’s 2011 novel The Sisters Brothers is very funny. ![]()
