Lone Star

“Lone Star by John Sayles. Great film about all these cultural identities having to cohabitate and live together, and about American history. It’s investigating American history. Just a really sensitive, smart American epic.”

“This is Lone Star by John Sayles, a period piece set on the border, and they do this incredible thing where, rather than do actual camera cuts as they go back and forth in time, they’ll set dress a whole restaurant. One half of the restaurant is set in modern day, the other half is set in the past. And, live, they’ll pan the camera over, do a lighting shift, and then you’ll pick up on the story line back there. Also, no spoilers, but incredible ending.”
