In Arthur Penn’s genre bending classic of wild west lore and historical fiction, Dustin Hoffman plays a man who undergoes so many drastic life changes it’ll make your head spin. From a juvenile westward expander, a Cheyenne brave, a religious acolyte, a celebrity gunfighter, a snake oil salesman, a resident drunkard, and a US Army soldier on his way to Custer’s last stand, this dude does it all. With a skewed eye to the colonial past of the USA, this artful take on the big life of a little character is by turns a comic masterpiece and an existential wonder. Also stars Faye Dunaway and Tsleil-Waututh Nation Chief Dan George.
