A Girl Is a Gun

This impressionistic western shows Billy the Kid as both ruthless and bumbling. Ruthless, in that he tracks down a witness to a robbery and kills him in cold blood. Bumbling, in that he literally stumbles over things throughout the film. He is also lucky, as the girlfriend of a man he has shot walks off into the sunset with him, instead of exacting revenge as she had planned. A GIRL IS A GUN removes all narrative pretext to concentrate on an intense and twisted relationship between a man and a woman in a bizarre wilderness.
