SYNOPSIS:
It’s the Wild West, circa 1870. Samuel Alabaster, an affluent pioneer, ventures across the American frontier to marry the love of his life, Penelope. As his group traverses the west, the once-simple journey grows treacherous, blurring the lines between hero, villain and damsel.
Robert Pattinson is a lover, not a fighter.

However, considering this is a film by the Zellner brothers, the trek across the frontier is about as idiosyncratic as they come, complete with gruff men comparing the sizes of their Adam’s Apple’s (surprisingly, that’s not a euphemism for penis), prized proposal ponies along for the journey, and a highly expressive performance from the aforementioned
