Anapurna has released the final trailer for Jaques Audiard‘s upcoming Western comedy The Sisters Brothers, starring John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix as two bounty hunters searching for a man who devised a formula to make gold glow in streams. The film also stars Riz Ahmed, Rutger Hauer, Carol Kane, and Rebecca Root.
The Sisters Brothers opens today in New York and Los Angeles.
It is 1851, and Charlie and Eli Sisters (Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly) are both brothers and assassins, boys grown to men in a savage and hostile world. They have blood on their hands: that of criminals, that of innocents…and they know no state of existence other than being gunmen. The older of the two, introspective Eli (Reilly) rides hard with his younger sibling yet dares to dream of a normal life. The younger of the two, hard-drinking Charlie (Phoenix) has taken charge with gusto as lead man on the duo’s assignments. Each increasingly questions, and quibbles with, the other’s methods.The Sisters brothers find themselves on a journey through the Northwest, bringing them to the mountains of Oregon, a dangerous brothel in the small town of Mayfield, and eventually, the Gold Rush land of California – a journey that will test the deadly family ties that bind. But, can it also be the path to rediscovering what remains of their humanity?
