Buffalo Rising – english presentation

The film

For lovers of the great American western cinema genre…

Cowboys says « Life is too short to ride bad horses »… In the movie history, the western genre takes on a unique place. The story is simple, clear as spring water, but it always takes you away. Landspaces are wide open, photography is awsome and horses may gallop forvever without boring us. There is always the good guys, the bad ones and all shall come to an end. This film is a story, a simple one, between a father and a son. A story of values, of relationship of two individuals growing up facing adversity in the wild open range of the western times. This film is a tribute to the  west and all those great movies who forged the legend of the great american cinema through generations of audience.

Above all, it is our love letter to you.
