The Burning Plain (2008 Guillermo Arriaga & scr)

Iñárritu's scriptwriter Arriaga decides he can do it on his own: judge for yourself. He hasn't made a film since.

I don't think we're supposed to get that Charlize Theron is the older version of Jennifer Lawrence until the story develops: either that or I'm a bit thick. Kim Basinger is the mother, John Corbett (truck driver), José Maria Yazpik (pilot's friend), Joaquim de Almeida (the lover).

Shot by Robert Elswit and edited by Craig Wood. Previously 15/6/10.

Not quite as good as I remembered it.
