Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Extraordinary film-making: vast, looming close-ups of faces in b/w, a landscape gripped by winter, and behind it all a fictional re-creation of the struggle by a handful of Dakota farmers toward political organisation during WWI. The pseudo-documentary tone is maddeningly naive, but the stubborn, passionate images survive.Author: CA
