In 19th-century Louisiana's Cajun country, Belizaire (Armand Assante) is the informal spokesman for his citizens, who don't see eye to eye with local racists who wish to eradicate all Cajuns. Complicating matters is the fact that Belizaire's former flame (Gail Youngs) is now married to his biggest rival (Will Patton), an affluent landowner's son. Before he knows it, Belizaire is caught up in a web of murder, lies and prejudice.

fresh:
Belizaire has personality and quiet charm and a lot of affection, mixed in with the more predictable action elements.

This is an impressive debut film.

rotten:
It's billed as a romantic comedy, but Cajun humor, like crawfish gumbo, takes some getting used to.

rotten:
Another ethnic group -- Cajuns, this time -- suffers the patronizing ministrations of the American Independent Cinema.

Chicago Reader,
