"The film that I've heard -- and felt -- the most enthusiasm for is Ang Lee's
Brokeback Mountain, which won the Venice Film Festival's top Golden Lion prize over the weekend. Lee is a master of conveying repressed emotions in a way that nonetheless moves audiences, as he does to great effect with two cowboys (Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger) who must hide their intense muual love as they carry on with their
surface-level conventional lives. Lee doesn't dictate how an audience should feel; he just presents the characters in such a real, human way that the men and women, heterosexual or otherwise, share the agony of their self-denial."
