In anticipation of the release of Lucien Castaing-Taylor's and Véréna Paravel's (Foreign Parts) new documentary work Leviathan, Ciné Barbès is pleased to present a special screening of Sweetgrass. An unsentimental elegy to the American West, Sweetgrass follows the last modern-day cowboys to lead their flocks of sheep up into Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth mountains for summer pasture. Magnificently photographed and unsparingly candid, Sweetgrass discovers a world of harsh beauty and arduous labor, where humans still work in rugged intimacy with nature.A Cinema Guild release A film by Lucien Castaing-Taylor & Ilisa Barbash 2009 // USA // 101 min www.sweetgrassthemovie.com Reviews Read the fascinating New York Times profile of co-director Lucien Castaing-Taylor, founder of Harvard's Sensory Ethnography Lab. "A really intimate, beautifully shot examination of the connection between man and beast." "Monumental. An anthropological work of art." "Sweetgrass might indeed be the very last Western... In preserving this special, lost American tradition, Barbash and Castaing-Taylor have made a lasting contribution to the canon."
