El Norte (DVD, 2009, 2-Disc Set, Criterion Collection)

Description: This is an actual photo.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.DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES:New, restored high-definition digital transfer supervised and approved by director Gregory NavaNew audio commentary featuring NavaIn the Service of the Shadows: The Making of El Norte: a new video program featuring interviews with Nava, producer and cowriter Anna Thomas, actors Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez and David Villalpando, and set designer David WascoWall of Silence, a new short documentary by Nava and Barbara Martinez Jitner, concerning the building of the wall along the U.S.-Mexico borderThe Journal of Diego Rodriguez Silva, the 1972 award-winning student film by NavaGallery of Chipas location-scouting photographsTheatrical trailerNew and improved English subtitle translationPLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by novelist Héctor Tobar and Roger Ebert's 1983 review of the film Please check out my store for select categories.
