This Jane Campion new Western is supposed to be a really deep-noir
repressed homoerotic Ubermacho  (and nelly-flitting) psycho-cowboy flick,
but it’s so overladen at every turn with butt-nekid barebacked tropes and a
Tennessee Williams menagerie of brooding misunderstood and alcoholic souls
just a lick-shy and another minor-chord symphony away from boot-scooting
bliss, I could scarcely believe it was on my TV!!!  Both the NYT’s Manola
Dargis and Roger Ebert gobbled it right up,  but I’m sure it’s really
destined for midnight roundups at campy clubhouses.
