Director:Andrew Dominik
Cast:Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck, Sam Shepard

Adapted from Robert Hudson’s novel, the film directed by Andrew Dominik portrays behind the curtains of the legendary story of the assassination of bandit Jesse James who had made a name for himself as the quickest man on the trigger in the Wild West. With a distinct approach, the psychological drama follows the private lives of Jesse James and his uncanny killer, and is transformed into a poetic Western with Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s piercing and spine-chilling music. With a star-studded cast that includes Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck, the film was nominated for the Best Achievement in Cinematography and the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role (Casey Affleck) at the Academy Awards.
