Little Big Man
Arthur Penn's 1970 absurdist epic about the misadventures and victimizations of a western everyman (Dustin Hoffman), who is buffeted between the white and Indian worlds. The dual point of view is used effectively, though it's less valid as social criticism (where Penn's observations tend toward facile revisionism) than as an index of the uncertainty that characterizes most of Penn's heroes. With Faye Dunaway, Martin Balsam, and Chief Dan George, who stole the show. |
