The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is an anthology film produced by the Coen brothers, released in 2018.

The film is notable for its stunning cinematography, which captures the breathtaking landscapes of the American West, along with its meticulous attention to period detail—a hallmark of the Coen brothers’ work. Each segment is woven together with a narrative frame that emulates an old-fashioned storybook, enhancing the film's character as a collection of fables.

All Gold Canyon: A tale about a prospector who stumbles upon a pristine valley rich with gold, only to face challenges that test his resolve and survival instincts.

Near Algodones: The story follows a bank robber who experiences a series of unfortunate events that prompt existential reflection on his choices.

Meal Ticket: This somber tale reveals the relationship between a traveling impresario and a disfigured, mute artist who performs for audiences but faces the inevitable decline of their act.

Riverboat: Focused on the life of a charming yet deceptive card player, this story illustrates the highs and lows of gambling and the nature of luck.

The Girl Who Got Rattled: A poignant narrative exploring themes of love and loss amidst the backdrop of the westward expansion, centered on a young woman’s decision during a cattle drive.

Buster Scruggs: The title segment presents an eccentric and singing cowboy who embodies a whimsical take on violence and fate, culminating in an unexpected twist.

The film stands out not only for its narratives and visuals but also for its star-studded cast, which includes actors such as Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco, Tom Waits, and Zoe Kazan, each delivering noteworthy performances that add depth to the characters they portray.

Critically acclaimed, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs received numerous accolades and awards, emphasizing its originality and artistry. It was nominated for several awards, including the Academy Awards, which highlighted its achievements in Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Production Design. The film's unique storytelling approach, combining humor with the harsh realities of life, encourages audiences to reflect on the duality of existence.

Overall, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is a compelling exploration of the many facets of life and death, intricately told through the lens of the Coen brothers' distinctive style, which marries humor and tragedy in a way that leaves a lasting impression.

For Blu-Ray Player

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
