Apache
Directed by Gottfried Kolditz
Produced by Filmstudio București, DEFA-Studio für Spielfilme
A somber Western that examines the tragic decline of Apache autonomy through the lens of a chief's failed attempt at peaceful coexistence with encroaching colonial powers.
The story of Ulzana, an Apache chief who has reached a rapprochement with the local Mexican population and generously extends it to whites who travel through the territory. His people have become inured to the treacherous ways of the white man, however, and are now reliant on them for booze, 'relief flour' and beef steak.
