This art house production was funded by lottery UK money, which is unusual in itself. Another aspect again that is out of sorts, is that the film originates from Macedonia and so does the director Milcho Manchevski. 'Dust' is a highly original and almost subversive take on the usual Western themes and at times reminded me of the very strange 'El Toppo' (by Jodorowsky). As a movie it's quite incomparable and to it's advantage has none of the pretensions that curse many independent pictures. The narration by an old lady jumps back and forth, right through the generations and contains some excellent battle scenes; that sometimes are hyper realistic and others pure fantasy. Out on a limb.
