Go West, Young Man!

Starring John Milius, William Fraker, E. Annie Proulx, Adam Jahiel, Dan Israels.
Heeding the familiar quote by 19th century newspaper editor Horace Greeley, Dutch filmmakers Peter Delpeut and Mart Dominicus go on a trip through the American West searching for the reasons behind the rise and fall in popularity of the American Western film genre in the duo's 2003 documentary Go West, Young Man! Longtime Western film enthusiasts, Delpeut and Dominicus visit a number of the locales that were featured in such films as Shane, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, and Monte Walsh, as well as the various settings in Monument Valley used by John Ford in his films. Along the way, the filmmakers talk to some of the residents of these sites in order to understand what it means to live in the West, as well as to discern if the world's love affair with the Western film can ever be rekindled. Go West, Young Man! was screened in conjunction with Monte Walsh at the 2003 Rotterdam International Film Festival. ~ Ryan Shriver, All Movie Guid.

GO WEST, YOUNG MAN! is een road movie langs de iconen van de western. Met de films in hun achterhoofd reizen de twee regisseurs door de Amerikaanse West. Wat ze vinden zijn de overblijfselen van een genre dat bezig is een stille dood te sterven. Ze komen oude verveloze filmsets tegen en ontmoeten vaklieden die weten dat hun specifieke vaardigheden in de komende jaren zullen verdwijnen. Ze bezoeken beroemde locaties waar ze nog steeds de dramatische kracht ervaren die vormgaf aan de klassiekers van het genre: de Grand Tetons, die de ontzagwekkende achtergrond vormden voor SHANE en natuurlijk Monument Valley, het thuis voor vele John Ford westernfilms.
