Brokeback MountainPublished on May 06, 2008 at 5:00amAng Lees magnificent 2005 film is about people who live where the rules are pretty much the same as they were 100 years ago. Its power comes from its unblinking look at the cost, in desperation and denial, of living in this century by those rules. Herding sheep in high Wyoming solitude, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger unexpectedly fall into a sexual relationship. Brokebacks canvas gives Lee room for extremes: spectacular vistas and intimate moments that convey everything about their real relationships with women (Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway) down below.
