Watched: The Road

Bleak, beautiful, depressing movie. Great soundtrack and cinematography (grey though it may be). I actually downloaded the OST a year ago, it's by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, who also did the wonderful OST for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Viggo Mortenson gives a really strong performance, as usual, and has the physicality of a starved, dying man to match the mental/emotional things happening in the movie. The kid's really good. You'd best believe I cried. And no, I won't ever be watching this again. A little too grim for repeat viewings, methinks.

Also, these screenshots look like shit because I watched this on Youtube. C'est la vie.
