Product Description

From Amazon.com

Mortality and graphic slaughter are central to Macedonian director Milcho Manchevski's first film since 1994's Before the Rain. In modern New York a young man, Edge (Adrian Lester), breaks into an apartment inhabited by old lady Angela (Rosemary Murphy), who then tells him a story at gunpoint. In Angela's surreally symbolic tale, set around 1905, there are two feuding brothers: gunfighter Luke (David Wenham) becomes a bounty hunter in Macedonia; Bible-quoting, vengeance-seeking Elijah (Joseph Fiennes) follows, and hell goes with him. Dust is part contemporary drama, part spaghetti Western homage--with the Ottoman Empire forces standing in for the Mexican army--and all meditation on the nature of cinematic myth-making. The performances are variable, but a plethora of movie references, particularly to various Sergio Leone films, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Wild Bunch, combine in a stylish and provocative fable that bears comparison with The Usual Suspects and Sex and Lucia. It also echoes Ararat (2002), in which a production crew makes a film about the 1915-18 Turkish genocide of the Armenians. Taken at face value the plot stretches credibility, but as a reflection on the nature of storytelling, Dust is an ingenious concoction. --Gary S. Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning story, July 12 2007
This review is from: Dust (DVD)
This movie depicts the situation of gold-hungry individuals, whether they be westerners, New York thugs or Armed bands in Macedonia through the Ottoman times. Along the cruelty of those in power such as the police officers in New York or the Turkish army in Macedonia, the director shows great love and friendship stories in a parallel manner and in different times. Elijah's love with the French prostitute, Neda's with the teacher and Edge's friendship with the old lady Angela as well as Luke's with Neda and the people of her village. Like the other movie that Milco directed (Before the Rain), the story is hard to follow at first, but you will love it the more you watch it, guaranteed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see one..., May 7 2004
By 
G. Petrovski "kjejabideli" (Seattle,WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dust (DVD)
Great story of mixing The West and The East , in the manner of the faboulos macedonian director Milco Mancevski.Eventhough he has been educated in the USA, the euro scent is just unbeatable.The time is beggining of the 20th century, protagonits are basicly one 'new world' gunner, and a tough local rebel ... both with no common needs or intentions ...seemingly.On one hand this movie so historical, but at the other, more important one , is so modern.Watch this movie once, and it will hunt you to watch it twice ...or at leste it will force you thinking of it:)

1.0 out of 5 stars junk packaged as a western, May 1 2004
By 
Joseph W. Hayes "snake" (mobile, alabama United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dust (DVD)
This is not a true western.you may have known that,I didnt.From the trailer there is no mention to the true nature of the story.The box looks like a western,the tag line is "live by the gun, die by the gun" even the description on the back makes it sound like a possibly good western that fell to direct to video hell.It says nothing about an old dying woman in a modern day city dealing with a lowlife thug for gold coins.Even if I knew how this junk really was IT still wouldnt be any good.0 stars,just a tease. YOU WERE WARNED.
