Short description
Oregon, 1851. Hermann Kermit Warm, a chemist and aspiring gold prospector, keeps a profitable secret that the Commodore wants to know, so he sends the Sisters brothers, two notorious assassins, to capture him on his way to California.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the novel of the same name by Canadian writer Patrick DeWitt.
- This is the first English-language film by Frenchman Jacques Audiard.
- Director Jacques Audiard dedicated the film to his older brother, who passed away at the age of 25.
- Filming took place in Romania and Spain, despite the film's setting in the states of Oregon and California.
- To create the image of the utopian scientist Worm, chronicles of the Sensimonists – followers of the French scientist Saint-Simon, European pre-socialists who crossed the ocean in the 19th century hoping to build a new life in the United States – were used.
- While working on the role of John Morris, Jake Gyllenhaal consulted with a historian-linguist for a month to study the manners and speech patterns of graduates from the first universities on the East Coast.
- The final scene in the Sisters’ family home was filmed in one long take. To create the impression of time jumps for the viewer, the actors involved in the scene changed clothes out of camera view.
- In pursuit of the scientist Warm, one of the brothers, Eli Sisters, acquires and learns to use a new invention – a toothbrush, but it turns out that John Morris also cleans his teeth progressively. The first patent for a toothbrush was obtained by American Wadsworth in 1850, but mass production in America did not begin until 1885.
