Plot: Vignettes weaving together the stories of six individuals in the old West at the end of the Civil War. Following the tales of a sharp-shooting songster, a wannabe bank robber, two weary traveling performers, a lone gold prospector, a woman traveling the West to an uncertain future, and a motley crew of strangers undertaking a carriage ride.
It's an extremely powerful, thoughtful, bizarre, black comedy that just carries on gaining in pathos and brutality. Moving and upsetting, especially story 5, and definitely ...picaresque.
