Review

Chicago Sun-Times, 12/15/1983, "From the very first moments of EL NORTE, we know that we are in the hands of a great movie. It tells a simple story in such a romantic and poetic way that we are touched, deeply and honestly..."

New York Times, 01/11/1984, p.C15, "A small, personal, independently made film with the sweep of EL NORTE, with solid, sympathetic performances by unknown actors and a visual style of astonishing vibrancy, must be regarded as a remarkable accomplishment..."

Title Note

Theatrical rerelease: September 6, 2000 (LA)

EL NORTE was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1995.

Distributor Note

Brother and sister Enrique and Rosa flee persecution at home in Guatemala and journey north, through Mexico and on to the United States, with the dream of starting a new life. It?s a story that happens every day, but until Gregory Nava?s groundbreaking El Norte (The North), the personal travails of immigrants crossing the border to America had never been shown in the movies with such urgent humanism. A work of social realism imbued with dreamlike imagery, El Norte is a lovingly rendered, heartbreaking story of hope and survival, which critic Roger Ebert called "a Grapes of Wrath for our time."
