Behind the Sun is a rapturous Western, a big film about a big, unwanted destiny visited upon a vulnerable, young hero. Adapted from the novel Broken April by Albanian writer Ismail Kadare (the story has been transferred from Europe to Brazil's rugged, northeastern badlands in 1910), Behind the Sun concerns two families and their long-running land war, which has robbed many a young man of his hope, love and, ultimately, life. Sent by his aggrieved father to avenge the slaying of an older brother, Tonho (Rodrigo Santoro), in torment, carries out his bloody, ancestral obligation and then proposes a truce between the families. Director Walter Salles (Central Station) aims to make a magnificently crafted, lush, and exotic epic ! told in broad strokes for art house aficionados, and he succee! ds almos t to a self-conscious fault. Still, there is nothing like a stirring, archetypal tragedy about the endless repercussions of violence and the sacrifice of innocence to a dubious cause. --Tom KeoghDigitally remastered Japanese reissue of his top 40 1985 album for Duck/ Reprise in a miniaturized LP sleeve limited to the initial pressing only. 11 tracks, including the top 30 hit 'Forever Man' and the single 'See What Love Can Do'.

In the end, Sally and the others find that there is a greater fate waiting for them, one more profound than Sally, or anyone, could have ever imagined.
