The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford... 2007, Produced by Ridley Scott, Brad Pitt/ Directed by Andrew Dominik/ Distributed by Warner Bros.
A rare example of historical fiction... truthful to its source material. Based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Ron Hansen, this film is sparse, bleak and absolutely riveting. The story dramatizes the relationship between James and his killer, Ford.
