Summary: 5 Stars
Excellently subtle tapestry of race matters, family secrets & romantic irony in a sleepy Texas border town. A film to watch more than once. Excellent casting.
Summary of Lone Star
One of the most acclaimed movies of the 90's! The more a lawman probes into a long-ago murder the more he uncovers layers of family and racial strife that divide this Texas border town.Year: 1996 Director: John Sayles Starring: Chris Cooper Kris Kristofferson Matthew McConaughey Elizabeth PenaRunning Time: 135 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 053939251524This complex and rich film by John Sayles stars Chris Cooper as the contemporary sheriff of a Texas border town still under the sway of his late, legendary lawman father (Matthew McConaughey, seen in flashbacks). The discovery of a skeleton and crusted-over badge--buried some 40 years--initiates an investigation into an old crime no one wants to talk about but which will determine for Cooper's character, once and for all, various truths about his father's life. Sayles ingeniously sets this mystery against the backdrop of a developing, multicultural community losing its economic base while haggling over a history of racism. The overall effect is of a complicated American tragedy mitigated by the possibility of personal redemption. A terrific experience. --Tom Keogh
