Overview

After moving to Pasadena, Texas, country boy Bud Davis starts hanging around a bar called Gilley's, where he falls in love with Sissy, a cowgirl who believes the sexes are equal. They eventually marry, but their relationship is turbulent due to Bud's traditional view of gender roles. Jealousy over his rival leads to their separation, but Bud attempts to win Sissy back by triumphing at Gilley's mechanical bull-riding competition.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sweaty, electric portrait of a marriage collapsing under the weight of clashing values and wounded pride in the neon-soaked honky-tonks of Texas. Equal parts romance and raw domestic friction, set to country music and mechanical bull-riding competition.
