FILM: the ballad of buster scruggs

on netflix.  presented as a series of vignettes.  the first two were good, so was another one that featured tom waits.  none of the characters were people of color. nor was anyone gay.  there was an abundance of violence and death; i am not certain it always contributed to the story(s).  there wasn't much in the way of human affection, definitely no steamy romance.  some of the singing and songs were fun, and there were a lot of pretty camera moves and colors.  the native americans were protrayed as absolute savages.  several people highly recommended this to me, so i hesitate to set expectations for you.
