Directed by John Hilcoat, THE PROPOSITION is a visually stunning tale
\nof loyalty, betrayal, and retribution set in Australia’s Outback
\nfrontier in the 1880’s. The soundtrack for the film, out now on Mute Records,
\nincorporates soft chamber pieces, ghostly moodscapes and whispered
\nlaments. Story and music are closely intertwined and these 16 tracks are as
\nstarkly beautiful as the landscape of the film. “I always heard it
\nmusically, and I guess it’s written rhythmically as well” Cave explains,
\n“There are moments of intense violence and there are also moments of
\nlong, lyrical, quiet sadness.”<\/p>\n
THE PROPOSITION features explosive performances by Guy Pearce
\n(MEMENTO), Ray Winstone (SEXY BEAST), Danny Huston (THE CONSTANT GARDENER), John
\nHurt (ELEPHANT MAN), and Emily Watson (BREAKING THE WAVES). The film
\nwill open on Friday, May 5 in New York at the Angelika Film Center and
\nAMC Empire 25, and in Los Angeles, with a national roll-out to follow.<\/p>\n
Charlie Burns (Guy Pearce) is a renegade living in Australia’s lawless
\nfrontier who, along with his two brothers, is wanted for a grisly
\nmurder. After being captured by local law enforcer Captain Stanley (Ray
\nWinstone), he is presented with an impossible proposition: the only way to
\nsave his younger brother Mikey (Richard Wilson) from the gallows is to
\ntrack down and kill his psychotic older brother Arthur (Danny Huston),
\nwho Stanley believes to be the ringleader in the violence. Meanwhile,
\nCaptain Stanley has other problems with which to contend. Having given
\nup their comfortable life in England, he is desperate to shield his
\nluminous wife Martha (Emily Watson) from the brutalities of their new
\nsurroundings. However, his attempts at “civilizing” the lawless \u00e9migr\u00e9s and
\nrenegade Aborigines only makes matters worse. An uneasy sense of
\nforeboding grows as events close in and each character faces a punishing
\nmoral dilemma that leads inexorably to a devastating climax.<\/p>\n
Though THE PROPOSITION evokes, in iconography and scope, the great
\nAmerican western, Cave and Hillcoat’s vision of nineteenth century
\nAustralia is wilder than anything ever imagined out west. Ex-cons, bounty
\nhunters, homicidal brutes, sadistic Brits and vengeful natives battle over
\nan untamed land swarming with flies and scorched by an unrelenting sun.
\nAs emotionally engaging as it is shockingly, authentically violent, and
\nas breathtakingly beautiful as it is bleak, THE PROPOSITION is
\nriveting, visceral cinema, visualized and acted with brio and punctuated by
\nCave and Ellis’s unmistakably haunting score.<\/p>\n
