Lone Star
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: John Sayles
1996 / 135min / 35mm
In a Texas town near the Mexican border, the discovery of a skeleton that proves to belong to a former sheriff some 40 years missing sends current sheriff Chris Cooper on an investigation that brings to light criminal corruption, the city’s long history of discrimination and racial strife, and the possible implication of Cooper’s late father (played in flashback by Matthew McConaughey) in foul play and worse. “Contains so many riches, it humbles ordinary movies… Like Faulkner, [Sayles] creates a sure sense of the way the past haunts the present, and how old wounds and secrets are visited on the survivors…. A great American movie… The best work yet by one of our most original and independent filmmakers.” —Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
