El Norte
El Norte A great film about dreams and the realities of immigrants who migrate to the U.S. This came out back in the 80's. I saw the Criterion Release that came out few weeks ago. Beautifully shot and directed. The director is Gregory Nava who did My Family and Selena.
This is the same style and theme that you find in My Family. If you're in the mood for a long journey drama, this one is it. Be patient with the duration of the movie, long but worthy.
