3 things about Gregory Nava’s EL NORTE

Posted on January 15, 2012 by robchristopher

El Norte [1983]

1. “You have to say ‘fuck’ all the time, or no one will believe you’re Mexican.”
2. He beams with joy after pouring the coffee correctly.
3. Pausing in his work, he leans on his shovel and looks over at the foreman. Epiphany.
