Assassination of Jesse James DVD is an epic film
Assassination of Jesse James DVD is an epic film that’s part literary treatise, part mournful ballad, and completely a portrait of our world, as seen in a distant mirror.
Depending upon your tolerance for cinema as meditation, this moody trek to the inevitable murder of the outlaw Jesse James may actually seem as long as its title. Yet there’s much to admire. Eschewing John Ford’s advice to ‘print the legend,’ The Assassination of Jesse James instead chooses historical accuracy, a move that could make this epic unpalatable to a mass audience. But this contemplative movie is worth your patience.
