Uprising of the Upright (Blu-ray)

A young widow is determined not to let her family's ranch in Montana fall into the hands of her greedy and ruthless ex-lover, a cattle baron, and an oil company. She finds unexpected support in her struggle from a neighboring World War II veteran, whom she falls in love with during their countless adventures.

Alan J. Pakula's Western is a gritty film featuring outstanding performances by James Caan and the two-time Oscar winners Jane Fonda and Jason Robards. Francis Ford Coppola's cinematographer Gordon Willis captures artistic CinemaScope images and, with exceptionally precise lighting, transforms the film into a soulful portrait of its characters. A captivating, laconic piece of American cinema that has been rare since the seventies.
