Aroview: Superbly made biopic of folksinger Woody Guthrie, set during the tail-end of the Great Depression as Guthrie makes his way across dustbowl America.

David Carradine is charismatic and perfectly understated in the lead, and the film is also particularly notable for its fine, Oscar-winning cinematography (by Haskell Wexler) and subtly interwoven soundtrack.
