Judy Becker’s first period film called upon her to evoke 20 years of hardscrabble life and passing time in the American West via production design, as Lee’s devastating romantic drama tracks the complicated, verboten romance between Wyoming cowboys Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal) from 1963 to 1983. “Ang’s goal was that no viewer of the film would be able to find any anachronisms for either time or place. This type of ultra period fidelity was crucial to the telling of such a daring story set in the early 1960s.”—Judy Becker
