Movie Haiku:Anthropological view of life on a sheep ranch before industrial farming techniques change old ways forever. Gorgeous vistas amidst Montana's Beartooth Mountains, but no narration or attempt to provide any structure not defined by the calendar. Too many issues never raised. We know we're supposed to mourn the end of a way of life... but why?
