Plot
A man aged 121 recalls his life among the Cheyenne and the white settlers of the American West.
Sinekatalog’s take
Arthur Penn's revisionist western follows a very old man recalling life among the Cheyenne and settlers. Dustin Hoffman is excellent, and the film is funny, tragic and a sharp critique of the myth of the West.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
