'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford'

Directed and written (screenplay) by Andrew Dominik who is New Zealand born "Australian" (we like to often claim Kiwis as our own, he also wrote and directed "Chopper") its beautifully shot using lots of tilt /shift lens movements and vaseline on the lens for amazing focus effects..
