The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the latest film from the Coen Brothers, in an anthological epic about the enormous breadth of American vice, but it’s equally about that kind of storytelling. “Buster Scruggs” involves classical moviemaking techniques (large crowds spacious and complicated physical elements against real scenery) along with copious digital effects (pistol shots to the head or, more winsomely, the ghost of Scruggs floating up to heaven, strumming a harp). The pathos are heavy yet earned here, and here alone.įrom the looks of it, the Coens enjoyed a sizable budget for this project. Its writer-directors, Joel and Ethan Coen, decided instead to jam the episodes violent. With innocents such as these, you know things won’t be working out in Coen Territory. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was originally conceived and shot as a six-episode series for Netflix. (The Coens, who wrote, directed and edited, filmed the anthology in Nebraska and New Mexico.) Zoe Kazan pierces the heart as a young woman lovestruck by a sweet, sincere fellow traveler (Bill Heck).
