I especially enjoyed this movie as there are so few movies showing the modern Native American way of life. There should be more movies like this. The movie concerns two Couer d'Alene Indian guys who have to travel to Phoenix to collect the ashes of the father of one of them, and the ambivalent relationship between the two friends and Victor's struggle to come to terms with his father having moved away when Victor was still a child. The scenery and ambience of the movie is magnificent, and the movie is full lf light hearted jibes at the white man's way of life. Since the Native Americans are the most neglected group in America today and considering the way things were forced on them in the previous centuries, it's good to see movies in which things are seen from their perspective. Don't switch off till the haunting last soundtrack of the movie is over, and all the credits have run through!
score 10/10
