 | Description: | Brother and sister Enrique and Rosa flee persecution at home in Guatemala and journey north, through Mexico and on to the United States, with the dream of starting a new life. It's a story that happens every day, but until Gregory Nava's groundbreaking El Norte (The North), the personal travails of immigrants crossing the border to America had never been shown in the movies with such urgent humanism. A work of social realism imbued with dreamlike imagery, El Norte is a lovingly rendered, heartbreaking story of hope and survival, which critic Roger Ebert called "a Grapes of Wrath for our time"."El Norte" on Blu-Ray from Criterion is a landmark film that tells the harrowing journey of two indigenous Guatemalan siblings, Enrique and Rosa, as they flee persecution in their homeland and attempt to build new lives in the United States. Directed by Gregory Nava, this 1983 classic has been lauded for its powerful storytelling and unflinching portrayal of immigrant struggles. The Criterion Collection edition features a high-definition restoration with insightful bonus materials that delve into the making and impact of the film.
Criterion is renowned for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films from around the world. Their releases are celebrated for meticulous restorations, comprehensive supplements, and scholarly attention to detail?making them a favorite among cinephiles.
The director, Gregory Nava, is acclaimed for his focus on Latino stories; "El Norte" was nominated for an Academy Award (Best Original Screenplay) and remains one of his most influential works. Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez (Rosa) has enjoyed a prolific career in Mexican cinema ("Amores Perros," "Y Tu Mamá También"), while David Villalpando (Enrique) continues to be recognized for his impactful performances across Latin American television and film. Cinematographer James Glennon contributed significantly with evocative visuals; he later worked on HBO?s "Deadwood." Producer Anna Thomas also co-wrote the screenplay with Nava?a partnership that set new standards in socially conscious filmmaking. |  | Actors: |
