The Golden West

Eileen Walsh and Aoife Duffin as two sisters who’ve barely escaped the worst of the Irish famine and are now hunting for gold in North Wales. Destitute, driven by hunger and isolation, they burst into bitterly funny and eloquent fits of frustration and cruelty. The Oscar-winning writer-directors Ross White and Tom Berkeley have created something radical: the first Western decisively influenced by Samuel Beckett. (Telluride Film Festival)
