Times Like Dying

A film about sins. about past, choices, secrets and regrets. and need of new start. robbery, hospitality, greed, courage, shadows of past. and an excelent story. because it is a western who use the rules of genre for admirable portraits of characters. because it reminds Biblical parables style to remind values and falls and the right punishment. so, a special film.

I always appreciate it when a short film gets made by a crew who are clearly dedicated. This is a good example of that. Excellent cinematography and direction. The performances are believable. I kept thinking that I was watching a feature at times.

The story is pure Western formula - we follow three brothers who rob a bank in and who are soon on the run. They end up at a farmhouse with a US Marshal.

There is of course conflict in this situation - highly recommended little Western gem!

6/10.
