Director John Sayles crafts a compelling, intricate story.
The Big Picture There are few great American filmmakers who have been as consistently undervalued as John Sayles, a quiet maverick filmmaker whose remarkable deconstruction of quintessential archetypes of “Americana” made him one of the most exciting of the 1990s. Sayles has a fascinating approach to traditional “American” genres, as he tends to deconstruct the facades behind them, yet still celebrates the beauty of the character.
What Is ‘Lone Star’ About? Lone Star is set in the diverse Rio Grande area in Frontera, Texas, and stars Cooper as the newly elected sheriff Sam Deeds. Sam is a native of the area that had previously moved elsewhere, but he was elected in a broad consensus upon his return based on the legacy of his family name.
‘Lone Star’ Isn't Just a Western The personal nature of the story, and how it confirms Sam’s adolescent abuse, is why Lone Star works as both a family drama and a neo-noir conspiracy thriller. Sam struggles with living in the shadow of his father, as the two had been contentious with each other for many years, and it was their arguments that had led to him leaving Frontera in the first place.
