Lone Star - Criterion Collection Blu-Ray

AuthorAuthor and director John Sayles is a keen observer of the social fabric of the United States, revealing the haunting past buried beneath a small Texas border town in this sprawling neo-western mystery. When a skeleton is discovered in the desert, Sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), son of a legendary local sheriff, launches an investigation that will have profound consequences both for him personally and for the entire Rio County, a place still haunted by its history of racial violence. Sayles' masterful film—a novel in its complexity and featuring a brilliant ensemble cast, including Joe Morton, Elizabeth Peña, and Kris Kristofferson—quietly undermines the national myth and exposes the fault lines of life on the frontier.DIRECTOR'S APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION New digital 4K restoration, supervised by director John Sayles and cinematographer Stuart Dryburgh, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackp>
