Join Naro Video @ ODU Libraries for a free screening of the French western, Les Cowboys!
“Les Cowboys, a multilayered, absorbing story about the search for a French girl who goes missing with her Muslim boyfriend, starts out in a very un-French way: with cowboys, horses, a Marlboro Man-like billboard and country music. … But soon, the tribute to the American frontier takes a dark turn when Alain (François Damiens) discovers that his 16-year-old daughter, Kelly, has disappeared from the cowboy carnival without a trace. [Les Cowboys is] John Ford’s The Searchers French style, but director Thomas Bidegain has given the premise a unique flavor, crafting a fine, timely screenplay that skips over some years of the story but still allows us to fill in the blanks.” —David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle
