Barbarosa

From: $5.09

Barbarosa (Willie Nelson), a gnarly ex-Texas Ranger turned bandit, lives by his wits and his prowess with a gun. Prowling the lonesome deserts of the Southwest, the wily fugitive meets Karl (Gary Busey), a young, eager farmhand out of his element, forced to run after accidentally killing his brother-in-law. Together, the outlaw and the outcast outwit their bloodthirsty pursuers in this legendary story of betrayal, misunderstanding, honor and dignity. Brought vividly to the screen by director Fred Schepisi ("Roxanne", "Six Degrees of Separation" and "I.Q.").

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 28, 2008 Type: User Review Best of the Willie Westerns

B-A-R-B-A-R-O-S-A!!!!!!! The best, by far of the Willie Westerns. Both lead performances (Nelson & Busey) are what you would expect from each actor, yet at the same time over the top and flawless. A must have for any western fan even though it is...

From: Amazon Posted: Feb 24, 2008 Type: User Review The Vandal's Cut

First, I LOVED "Barbarosa." I was one of the underwhelming few who tracked it down when it was in its original theatrical release, and greedily recorded it on VHS from a widescreen cable broadcast. Alas, that recording is gone, along with a...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 10, 2007 Type: User Review Another Vote for Widescreen

I loved this western when it came out. An tight, elegant script by Lonesome Dove screenwriter Bill Witliff, plus a sense of landscape-as-psychology from Aussie director Fred Schepisi.

Most movies are acceptable in full-screen. This...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 11, 2007 Type: User Review Terrific little-seen western on an awful DVD

Fred Schepisi's "Barbarosa" was all but buried on its initial release in 1982, and has seldom been seen since. That's too bad, because William D. Wittliff's literate, poetic script shows genuine feeling for -- and an insider's knowledge of -- the...

Here's an unjustly overlooked film that's full to the brim with energy, gusto, humor & fascinating, larger than life characters. Willie Nelson's Barbarosa & Gary Busey's Karl make a perfect pair, mentor & student, father figure & son, as they live...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 10, 2006 Type: User Review One of the great late Westerns on a poor DVD

Some movies are eternal victims. Case in point: Barbarosa, which had the best script and the worst luck of any of the late-70s-early-80s Westerns. Barely released to theatres after production company ITC went bust, little seen on TV and almost...

From: Location: ca Posted: Sep 07, 2006 Type: User Review Old Mexico meets Western Texas

Willie Nelson is manificent in his portrayal of the red headed Barbarosa. Tale of a forbidden love and family revenge with continuing legacy. A few scenes are not suitable for children. Entertaining movie.
