DVD Where the Rivers Flow North
Rip Torn was critically acclaimed for his commanding performance in this 1993 drama set in Virginia in 1927. Where the Rivers Flow North is about an old-time logger who defends his property against a pair of power-company executives (Michael J. Fox and Bill Raymond) seeking to build a dam on Torn's leased land. Native American actress Tantoo Cardinal is equally superb as Torn's longtime partner and ardent supporter, and the strength of their relationship is what gives this modestly budgeted, beautifully photographed independent feature most of its high-spirited appeal. The film, adapted from a novel by Howard Frank Mosher, was written and directed by Jay Craven, and would likely have earned Rip Torn an Oscar nomination had it been more widely seen at the time of its release. --Jeff Shannon
If I could give this more stars I would...... The photography is beautiful and gives justice to the setting.... The music is perfect but the acting is just incredible. What a pair... Rip Torn as "Mister" became my favorite all time actor with this one. Tantoo Cardinal is perfect in her role.
64 times, and counting
I have seen this movie 64 times, and I plan on seeing it at least 1,000 times more. It has an awesome plot; the chemistry between the actors is absolutely amazing, and it has superb camera work. I would recommend this movie to anyone seeking a quiet night in front of the television! It is a bit "slow" but the acting and plot make the time well spent.
Extremely good period piece
I caught this on PBS, and it was very good! A great story, and what actors! It's a period piece, set in the late 1920's. Rip Torn is this lumberjack type guy who has a Native American Indian woman companion he hangs out with all the time. There is a dam being built around his property, and the builders are trying to buy him out. He does everything he can to not give in to their bribery. It's fine drama, and some comedic momments sprinkled in. I thought the acting by both Torn, and the woman was outstanding! I always liked him. She was just amazing. It's movies like this that have the truly talented actors. PBS doesn't edit either, and there were no commercials. Both my husband and I liked it alot. Highly recommend!
Torn and Ferrell star in an authentic depiction of the harshness of homesteading about a hundred years ago in Wyoming. (It's still a tough place to ranch.) It's exciting and sad and sometimes blissfully joyful. A great movie I hadn't seen in a long time, but had been looking for for years to buy.
Based on a series of letters written by the homesteading woman in the early years of this century, the film tells a story far more grim than the determined cheerfulness of Elinore Pruitt Stewart does in "Letters of a Woman Homesteader." Both stories are true.

This movie, is well acted, true to the original book and a tribute both to the subject of the movie, Marjorie Rawlings, and to the skill and ability of the actors. It is worth watching over and over and worth much more than the price of buying it.

The temptation here is to make a joke about Intersection and dead ends--but this disappointing film has too much talent involved to kid about how wrong it went. Based on the French film Les Choses de la Vie, the film was adapted by the usually reliable Marshall Brickman (Annie Hall) and David Rayfiel (The Firm). Richard Gere plays a man caught between two women: his chilly, remote wife (Sharon Stone) and his vibrant young mistress (Lolita Davidovich). How the marriage declined, how the affair began, and how the two women's paths eventually cross--everything is seen in flashback after Gere's car spins out of control in a horrible accident. Director Mark Rydell has some of the squarest dialogue in recent movie history to work with, as he dissects how...
