Writer-director John Sayles uncovers the haunted past buried beneath a small Texas border town in the sprawling neowestern mystery Lone Star, released on 4K UHD and Blu-ray 26th Februrary 2024 from Spirit Entertainment as part of the Criterion Collection.

When a skeleton is discovered in the desert, lawman Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper), son of a legendary local sheriff, begins an investigation that will have profound implications both for him personally and for all of Rio County, a place still reckoning with its history of racial violence.

Sayles's masterful film-novelistic in its intricacy and featuring a brilliant ensemble cast, including Joe Morton, Elizabeth Peña, and Kris Kristofferson - quietly subverts national mythmaking and lays bare the fault lines of life at the border.
