I admit I watched this only because I am a huge James Caan fan. I came away really loving this film. It follows the lives of a French couple who are photographers who come to the American west and also of an American couple already settled in the west. We follow these characters and see how lives separately lived and the events that unfold in those lives and how it all comes together to entwine people who otherwise wouldn't meet. Fascinating film a very European feel to this one. Caan is excellent as is Bujold and Huster. Fun supporting cast. Watch this if you haven't. Gotta see Caan shooting pool from horseback!
