Friendship
Deeply elegiac Western about getting old and taking mature responsibility through accepting inevitable change. Yet the film itself takes the clear view that change is anti-romantic and should be fought – with violence if necessary. This paradox represents the dramatic tension at the heart of this emotionally-affecting drama.
The 2005 version is generally inferior to the 1988 restored cut – probably because lesser mortals than Sam Peckinpah made the artistic decisions about what to remove and what to leave in.
