...an indie godfather of Chicano cinema...
An underappreciated classic of the western genre; one that functions as a proto-revisionist piece repositioning one of the stories of the Old West to a Mexican perspective
Olmos is devastating as the titular Gregorio Cortez.
Director and co-scripter Robert M. Young packs his picture with seasoned character actors who add grit rather than glamour.
A subdued revisionist Western based on a Mexican ballad about a true story.
For Director Young, the tragic poignancy derives from the fact that despite rich heritage the alien Anglo culture forced Gregorio to become an outsider and to speak a language that needed translation.
