Ethan Hawke on Martin Ritt's HOMBRE with special guest Adam Piron
Ethan Hawke joined us live at AFS Cinema for an introduction and post-screening discussion with filmmaker, curator and Director of Sundance’s Indigenous Program, Adam Piron (Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma and Mohawk).
Paul Newman and director Martin Ritt made three revisionist Westerns together over the course of four years. This is the last of them and, in many ways, the most ripe for re-evaluation. Newman plays a white man raised by Native Americans whose perspective is appreciably different from the settlers he comes into contact with. This conflict comes to a head when he finds himself in the middle of stagecoach robbery. A psychologically and sociologically fraught story that nonetheless also manages to be an exciting action film. Adapted from an Elmore Leonard novel.
