Publisher's Synopsis
Death is always the issue-in life and in the Western. Joel and Ethan Coen's 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs' is a movie of six Western stories. In each, our common destination is approached by a different road. Through each, diverse characters hurry for their final appointment: Oregon Trail-travelers, a gold prospector, a motley crew of stagecoach passengers, a high-plains drifting bank robber, even a singing cowboy. These six stories escort them with a care that either respects, or mocks, the dignity of all.
