Rating: - Classic films on Chicano Culture!!
I remember seeing this flim when I was a teenager in college...CHULAS FRONTERAS is almost thirty years old!!!! I loved the vision of Chicano culture living, growing and evolving even in the most inhospitable environments. The loving look of the film at the people who lived between two cultures was very enlightening.

Rating: - Tejano masterpiece
Les Blank and Chris Strachwitz are national treasures. They have a way of taking seemingly mundane footage and turning it into a life-changing experience without injecting any personal commentary.

Rating: - Local Music and Tex-Mex Culture
CHULAS FRONTERAS is almost thirty years old - but the culture hasn't changed; it's still as relevant today as it was 30 years ago when this film was first made.

And, what sound: from a rollicking polka band to a ball waltz and Latin party music.
Rating: - A great documentary about the roots of Tex-Mex music
If you have any interest at all in Tex-Mex music check out this absolutely fantastic documentary. A very loving and knowledgable look at early Tejano music. The section on Lydia Mendoza alone is worth the price. Thanks to John Conquest for bringing this to my attention.
