Yesterday my family and I went to our "Once in a great while" movie adventure. The movie was playing at our "Second Run" theater, The Oak Park Movie Theater.
I'd like to tell you a wonderful story about this theater but I'll save it for another post.
This movie was NOT a second run but a very small production of local interest. That being said, it is getting GREAT reviews nationally.
The movie is the story of Medora. The wife of a brilliant French Investor who had a vision to build a town in Western North Dakota for a meat packaging plant. Medora's father was very wealthy and invested in his son in laws ideas. Her husband was of both French and Spanish nobility and also had great political ambitions.

The movie was filmed in the North Dakota badlands by an little known / unknown production company and no known actors/actresses'. They did a brilliant job!
The movie has love and action and the unbelievable scenery of North Dakota's Bad Lands.
The only spoiler alert I'll give you is that it's a sad movie. A truly sad portrait of the human state even back then in the 1800's.
