Today is the shadow of tomorrow. Today is the present future of yesterday. Yesterday is the shadow of today. The darkness of the past is yesterday and the light of the past is yesterday. The days of yesterday are all numbered in sum. In the world once. Because once upon a time there was a yesterday.

...by the Coward Robert Ford! What a long title! We had to chop it in half! At 160 minutes, this sedate Western is a long film too, but it's picked up some good reviews and looks to be a cut above the usual Brad Pitt dross-fest.
