Brokeback Mountain (USA, 2005)

This two-hour long romantic movie about two cowboys getting in love is a new change of direction for director Ang Lee. Her previous films have won many international prizes, and this movie will be no exception. Combining the beautiful landscapes of the province of Alberta, Canada, Lee creates a moving love story between two cowboys and their lives through the years. They lead different lives with their families, but they get together several times a year to spend some time. They love each other, but for many reasons they cannot live together. The ending is quite moving and sad, but it is definitely worth watching.
