Lone Star
Added 2022-03-26 15:24:40 +0000 UTCWe discuss John Sayle's masterful, novelistic 1996 neo-western LONE STAR. It's a brilliant, ruminative film that explores race, class, justice and the question of who gets to write our collective history.
We talk the deliberate emphasis on ensemble and shared spaces within the fictional town of Frontera, TX, the film's elegiac cinematography that erases the boundaries between past and present, and praise Sayle's bonafides as one of our most politically self-possessed filmmkaers.
