Description:Forced to run from the Texas Rangers after a heated misunderstanding leads to the death of a lawman, Mexican American farmer Gregorio Cortez sets off in desperate flight, evading a massive manhunt on horseback for days. Producer-star Edward James Olmos, seeking to shed new light on a historical incident that had been enshrined in a corrido (folk song), enlisted director Robert M. Young, a longtime practitioner of socially engaged realism, to helm this trailblazing independent film, a landmark of Chicano cinema. Shifting it's perspective between the pursuers and the pursued, The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez is a thrilling chase film and a nuanced procedural that peels away the layers of prejudice and myth surrounding Cortez, uncovering the true story of an ordinary man persecuted by the law and transfigured by legend.
The "Ballad of Gregorio Cortez" Blu-Ray, released by Criterion, brings to life the gripping true story of a Mexican-American farmer wrongfully pursued across Texas in 1901. This landmark film, directed by Robert M. Young and starring Edward James Olmos as Gregorio Cortez, is celebrated for its powerful portrayal of injustice and cultural conflict on the American frontier. The Criterion Collection is renowned for restoring and distributing significant classic and contemporary films with exceptional quality and insightful supplements that deepen viewers' appreciation. Edward James Olmos delivers a career-defining performance; he is widely acclaimed for his roles in "Stand and Deliver," "Miami Vice," and "Battlestar Galactica." Director Robert M. Young has been praised for socially conscious works like "Alambrista!" while supporting cast members such as James Gammon ("Major League") add further depth to this evocative Western drama.
