Curator's Take
“A rare western set directly after the Civil War featuring a Ranger dealing with racial tensions. It’s rough and low-budget, but attempts to tackle unique themes.”
Why This Movie Is Important
An attempt to launch a new passive-aggressive hero who plays dead to survive. It’s a unique survival strategy that subverts the macho bravery of the typical gunfighter.
