Emperor of the North

Impressive portrait of Depression . and splendid meet between Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine. and,not the less, a young Keith Carradine as one of a cruel, liar, classic spoiled teenager looking for easy glory . a film who gives admirable cinematography, admirable performances, a perfect plot in each detail and a sort of lesson about the rules of the rules of hobos. long time, for me the performance of Borgnine was more than fascinating. not only for the character, so far by the many roles of him, but for the traits of bad guy who are more clear scene by scene. because that is the basic virtue of film - to be a realistic page of history. more than convincing, dramatic or touching. but usefull. for see the essence and for discover the attitudes in near reality. and, not the last, for feel. the old fashion cinema art.
