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

Dust is NOT your typical western. It is impractical that a dying, elderly woman would befriend her apartment trashing/thieving thug, especially after he coldcocks her. Equally as rediculous is that this same thug would have genuine feelings for her at her dying bedside, a day after placing a gun to her head making demands....just stupid!
This movie can be gorey also (ex: shooting and slitting the throats of sheep/goats, disembowelment, decapitation, etc.)
Not sure I understand ... Read More

Thought as many probably did, that Dust was a sleeper of a Western Outlaw kind of film. Dust is not that, it is so much more! Dust starts out in modern day NYC where a young man breaks into an apartment, looking for something. As he ransacks the place, something from the past is soon discovered. The film bounces back and forth from the present day to a day nearly 100 years earlier in which two brothers fought their way over dangerous ground. The scenes depicting the Turkish soldiers are gritty and bloody, ... Read More

I picked this up because I recognized the stars and because, according to the dust jacket, the director had done some worthy work in the past.
I didn't mind jumping from here to there with only a gossamer thread to cling to. I'm not generally opposed to body count. I thought the suckling sucking tobacco was gratuitous, but that's me. I guess the point there was: 'this ain't Kansas', morals and values were completely different.
One thing this movie taught me: watch the 'extras' first, a thing I have ... Read More

OK, obviously some of the people writing the reviews here don't know a thing about the history of the Balkan region, and most of them don't care, so they condemn the movie as a bad, bloody or nuisance, but in fact, this people have no clue what they are talking about.
I can say this movie is full of emotions, full of realistic facts and real scenes... As far as I can see some people asked where is the movie happening?!? I mean, c'mon... if you give this movie a chance to take you places, you should ... Read More

Finding and trying out DUST from my local Blockbuster was like finding a piece of gold. If you like classic style spagetti westerns in the same vein as Clint Eastwood and Sergei Leone - then this one's for you.
I don't know who this Polish-sounding-like named director is, but he and his film crew managed to make one hellava one-of-a-kind western.
And it shows from the get-go. Starting out in modern-day New York, DUST is a tale that unfolds with twists and turns that will keep you watching ... Read More
