Right,

Went to see a film in the IFI last year, but can't for the life of me remember the name of it. Nor do I know any of the actors names..

It was set in a small town in redneck America. 2 families, both had the same father. The father dies. One set of brothers buried him, then other brothers turned up, and kicked off a feud. Got pretty violent at times, but the film was brilliant. Not much dialogue, and quite slow in places.
One set of brothers worked on a fish farm, whilst the other brothers worked on a regular farm.

If anyone knows what film this is, could they please please post it here..

Thanks,

K.

Could it be Shotgun Stories? There's a NY Times review here.

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
