Ain’t Them Bodies Saints

Bob Muldoon and Ruth Guthrie, an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills. Although Ruth wounds a local officer, Bob takes the blame. But, four years later, Bob escapes from prison and sets out to find Ruth and their daughter, born during his incarceration.

Set against the backdrop of 1970’s Texas Hill Country, this poetic picture evokes the mythology of westerns and saturates the dramatic space with an aching sense of loss.
