## Description

In Alambrista!, a farmworker sneaks across the border from Mexico into California in an effort to make money to send to his family back home. It is a story that happens every day, told here in an uncompromising, groundbreaking work of realism from American independent filmmaker Robert M. Young (Dominick and Eugene). Vivid and spare where other films about illegal immigration might sentimentalize, Young's take on the subject is equal parts intimate character study and gripping road movie, a political work that never loses sight of the complex man at its center. Alambrista!, winner of the Cannes Film Festival's inaugural Camera d'Or in 1978, remains one of the best films ever made on this perennially relevant topic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great movie.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 14, 2023*

Another unknown gem to many. Great and a sad film about a dude from Mexico, just trying to make it, but become delusional of the American Dream. Check it out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An absolutely amazing and engrossing film.  Storytelling at its best.
  

*by I***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 25, 2012*

Although this is a fictional tale, it plays out like a documentary in brilliant fashion.  Using many real mexican immigrant workers in real work settings, the film sets a very realistic tone to their plight.  You really feel for these people and the better life they are striving to create for themselves and their families.  The director really takes you on a journey, and every step the lead character takes, you are taking with him.  A very moving story and film.  Storytelling at it's best.  And a very nice performance from Edward James Olmos in his first role, albeit very brief, but still powerful. Watching this film has truly broadened my perspective of mexican immigrant workers and reminds me how blessed we are and how grateful we should be for all that we have.  A life changing experience indeed.

    ... an immigrant who has left everything behind for a better life. Wonderfully done through a very neo-realist approach

Tells the life of an immigrant who has left everything behind for a better life. Wonderfully done through a very neo-realist approach.
