Director Ang Lee’s film has already been proclaimed a landmark, a watershed in mainstream movies, the first gay love story with A-list Hollywood stars. There’s neither coyness nor self-importance in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN – just close, compassionate observation, deeply committed performances, a bone-deep feeling for hardscrabble Western lives.
