The Ballad of Buster
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a Western written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It’s a six-part anthology of western short films set in the 19th century American frontier. Each segment has a distinct, but interrelated, moral theme. This is especially true in the finale.
In this film, Tom Waits plays the crusty prospector digging for gold. He is also the singing cowboy, known as the San Saba Songbird. His adventures include poker hands, bar fights, straight-to-camera philosophy, and the occasional shootout.
Remarks
“Buster Scruggs” is one of the silliest and most unpredictable Coen brothers films. Despite the dark humor and violence, this movie is about survival, exploring, and the absurdity of death.
