Welcome back to my Home Movies! This week, we don’t have many new releases of note, save for Trolls World Tour, so the top pick is actually a Criterion Collection citation. Yes, today the honor goes to none other than Lone Star. What else is hitting shelves? Read on for more…
Lone Star (Criterion)
From The Criterion Collection: “A keen observer of America’s social fabric, writer-director John Sayles uncovers the haunted past buried beneath a small Texas border town in this sprawling neowestern mystery. When a skeleton is discovered in the desert, lawman Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), son of a legendary local sheriff, begins an investigation that will have profound implications both for him personally and for all of Rio County, a place still reckoning with its history of racial violence. Sayles’s masterful film—novelistic in its intricacy and featuring a brilliant ensemble cast, including Joe Morton, Elizabeth Peña, and Kris Kristofferson—quietly subverts national mythmaking and lays bare the fault lines of life at the border.”
