A propos de cet article

Paperback. A deft history and analysis of John Sayles 1996 cinematic masterpiece. Alison Fields places Lone Star in a western film framework and emphasizes Lone Star's ability to highlight the conflicts between socially entrenched borderlands history and its multifaceted reality.Filmmaker John Sayles has been a key voice in independent cinema since the 1970s, interrogating American legends by retelling stories about class, race, labor, sexuality, history, and violence. Lone Star, released in 1996, was ahead of its time in exploring the prevailing legends of the Borderlands through the intersectionality of Black, Chicano, and womens narratives. Set in the fictional small town of Frontera on the Texas/Mexico border, the film opens with the discovery of a decades-old skeleton on a rifle rangethe remains of racist and corrupt former sheriff Charlie Wade (Kris Kristofferson). It had long been presumed that Wade was driven from town by Buddy Deeds (Matthew McConaughey), who succeeded him for a long tenure as Fronteras beloved sheriff. The discovery of Wades remains prompts current sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), who had always lived in his fathers shadow, to question Buddys legacy and his involvement in Wades death and to look to the testimonies of the poor, the dispossessed, and the overlookedthe very people the late Sheriff Wade had victimized. In the first book-length examination of Lone Star, Fields situates the film firmly in the new Western history that has done so much to overturn the century-old Frontier Thesis. In the wake of Stalins death, Soviet cinema turned inward during the Thaw, embracing sincerity through intimate staging and close-up techniques that redefined realism. Films shifted from cult propaganda to portrayals of everyday life, fostering renewed trust and bridging reality with art.
