The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada is an epic tale of revenge and redemption, friendship and loyalty, set against the majestic border country of the United States. When Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cedillo) is found murdered and buried in a shallow grave in the desert, the local police force makes no attempt to solve the crime, rapidly transferring the corpse to a pauper's grave. Driven by a promise he made to Melquiades before his death, ranch foreman Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones), takes it upon himself to track down the murderer and give his friend the burial he deserves.

A beautiful film. Perhaps one of the most beautiful in recent times. Really. And I always have a big problem with commenting on such films. The Coens, who brought us No Country for Old Men a few years later, should immediately hang up their yarmulkes, because this is a modern, sensitive western story with sophisticated characters, dialogue, atmosphere and a plot that is interesting every second, as it should be. Tommy Lee Jones behind the camera definitely surprised me. I hope he goes back there again soon. And the music by Marco Beltrami... Wow. This is certainly not the last time I am going to watch The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Great, great, great.
