20TH ANNIVERSARY: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

July 11, 12 & 17, 2025
20th Anniversary:
Brokeback Mountain
Ang Lee’s celebrated film follows Ennis Del Mar (Ledger) and Jack Twist (Gyllenhaal), two young men dispatched to work as on the majestic Brokeback Mountain in the summer of 1963. During their experience, Ennis and Jack are drawn into an unexpected lifelong relationship, filled with love and loss and unfolding against the raw beauty and splendor of the American West. The complications, joys, and heartbreak they experience provide a testament to the endurance and power of love. Brokeback Mountain achieved extensive critical acclaim, winning three Academy Awards from eight nominations. It won in the categories of Best Directing for Lee, Best Original Score for Gustavo Santaolalla, and Best Adapted Screenplay for co-writers Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, who adapted from the short story by Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx.
Dir. Ang Lee / 2005 / US / 134 min

“Ang Lee’s unmissable and unforgettable Brokeback Mountain hits you like a shot in the heart. It’s a landmark film and a triumph for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“The filmmakers have focused so intently and with such feeling on Jack and Ennis that the movie is as observant as work by Bergman.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“It stays with you after you’ve seen it, like a haunting strain of music.” – Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
