Go West, Young Man! plot

Exactly one hundred years ago, The Great Train Robbery was made, a film that marks the birth of the western as a film genre. Inspired by this fact, Peter Delpeut and Mart Dominicus traveled through the American West in search of the western images they saw in their youth. They visit The Grand Tetons in Wyoming, where George Stevens made Shane, and Monument Valley, the rock formation in the border area between Utah and Arizona, which formed the dramatic background in many westerns by John Ford (including The Searchers). Delpeut and Dominicus spoke with writer Annie Proulx in Wyoming, among others, about the relationship between the desolate landscape and the character of the inhabitants.
