The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (Criterion Collection)

South Texas, 1901: Thanks to a dispute over a horse sale and a language barrier, Mexican tenant farmer Gregorio Cortez (Edward James Olmos) found himself a fugitive for the self-defense slaying of the sheriff who’d wounded his brother. For ten days, he eluded civilian posses that numbered in the hundreds, and the flight that enflamed two communities became the stuff of legend. Long-demanded fact-based western co-stars Bruce McGill, Brion James, James Gammon, Pepe Serna. 105 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English and Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English (SDH); featurettes.
