What The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada Is About
A Texas ranch foreman refuses to let the matter drop when his Mexican friend is shot by a border patrolman and buried without ceremony. He abducts the officer and forces him to carry the body into Mexico. The film follows a promise rather than a revenge: the dead man had said where he wanted to lie. The narrative breaks up its chronology, and by the end leaves it unclear whether that place exists at all. It is Tommy Lee Jones's first film as director, written by Guillermo Arriaga. It took both the acting and screenplay prizes at Cannes. Before watching: the film treats the border as a place with two sides rather than a story of heroes or victims. If you want a clear sense of justice served, it is not here.
