Synopsis

A halfbreed seeks revenge for the death of his sister, who kills herself after being raped by an officer of the Canadian Mounted Police. He gets involved in the historical revolt of halfbreeds and Indians led by Louis Riel in 1885 against the Canadian government.

Comment

Unusual European western about racial conflicts. Quite different from a SW, this comparatively lavishly produced film is more interested in its story than in stylistic extravaganza. Mestizo is worth a look, but is far from being as impressive as Julio Buchs' later A Bullet for Sandoval.

The redubbing into a Django film for several international versions does not make any sense and is rather misleading. It only shows how arbitrary and thoughtless the Django term was used.
