This movie is probably the most realistic depiction of modern, city dwelling, Native americans I've seen. They're not the deep, spiritual, enlightened beings americans think they are. They're human, desperate, flawed and ultimately selfish. My heart went out to the wife in this film who only dreamed of having a good life. It's so obvious her husband and his friends will NEVER let that happen. I'm a native anerican, living in Chicago and I've seen this played out in real life.

I saw the re-issue "premiere" of this film about Native Americans struggling to make a life for themselves in early 1960s Los Angeles. Charles Burnett the director of Killer of Sheep introduced the film at IFC Center here in NYC. Spellbinding. The audience at the end were in stunned silence. Highly recommended. I really need to purchase the 2 DVD set of this soon.

This is the kind of movie that I live for. I can't wait to see it. Buker Hill in the 60's must of been crazy. I've heard so many stories from family.
