Les Cowboys
In this inventive update on THE SEARCHERS, an old-West enthusiast in modern-day France embarks on a 16-year odyssey to track down his daughter who has eloped and converted to Islam. Contemporary cultural anxieties permeate this haunting take on the John Ford classic, and celebrated French screenwriter Thomas Bidegain (RUST AND BONE, A PROPHET, and this year’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner DHEEPAN) establishes himself as an emerging auteur voice in his directorial debut. LES COWBOYS is a profound tale of a young woman’s disappearance, and of the father and brother who spend years in search of her. Starring François Damiens and Finnegan Oldfield, and featuring John C. Reilly in an energetic turn as an American mercenary.
