Movie Info

Following up on his acclaimed debut After the Rain, Milcho Manchevski spins this ambitious, and unusual, Balkan western. The film opens in New York with an old woman, living in a crammed apartment full of old photos, who outwits a burglar and forces him to listen to her stories. She recounts the saga of Luke and Elijah, a couple freewheeling cowboys during the heyday of the American West. A fight over a whore named Lily ends their friendship; Elijah marries her while Luke turns into an embittered bandit, travelling the world. He eventually settles in with some cattle rustlers in Macedonia. Improbably, Luke and Elijah cross paths again, and soon after a complicated series of flukes and misadventures, end up embroiled in the Turks brutal attempts at maintaining control of the peninsula. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival.

The bloodthirsty Dust lurches so wildly and meaninglessly between genres and time frames that all it creates is motion sickness.

Aug 21, 2003 | Rating: 1/4
New York Post
Top Critic

Dazzling and dazed.

Aug 21, 2003 | Rating: 3/5
New York Times
Top Critic

Dust is a bust, a big bad movie of the scope, ambition and bravura that could be made only by a talented filmmaker run amok.

Aug 21, 2003 | Rating: 2/5
Los Angeles Times
Top Critic

Manchevski stumbles headlong into a tangle of mismatched tones and plot points.

L.A. Weekly
Top Critic

In reaching for a cubist style of storytelling, [Manchevski] sacrifices character and motivation.
