Three-generational epic saga of the Sanchez family as told by the eldest son. Actor: Jimmy Smits A sprawling saga spanning two generations in the lives of the Sanchez family, from the depression to the present day.
The story begins as Jimmy Sanchez, lured by the "American Dream", decides to emigrate from revolutionary Mexico to East L.A. He soon meets and marries the beautiful Maria, and together they have five children.
Years later, the Sanchez kids have grown up, and chosen to lead very disparate lives, ranging from criminal to nun. But despite the obstacles they and their offspring continue to face, Jimmy and Maria succeed in maintaining the family's unity, using their Latino heritage and roots as the foundation.
Francis Ford Coppola produced this acclaimed saga detailing three generations in a Hispanic immigrant family, from their journey to California in the 1920s to their modern day struggles. In Spanish and English dialogue.
Released theatrically in the USA on May 5, 1995.
Co-produced by Majestic Films.

Not just for Latinos!
This cast ensemble delivers great performances, depicting the love, loyalty, & trials of a first generation Mexican family. A saga that rivals, in the latin "Soul Food."

Desperate to belong to what he feels is his true family, he'll do anything to be a part of his cousins' gang--his "family." But a retaliatory attack on a rival gang sends Miklo, out on probation, back to prison, and he finds himself in San Quentin.

With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema.

Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera with a heavy amount of zooming, and a bold combination of frank subject matter with cynical humor--Altman immediately vaulted himself to Hollywood's ...

MI VIDA LOCA is a compelling look at a microcosm of East L.A.'s Echo Park. Writer and director Allison Anders (GAS FOOD LODGING) lived in the neighborhood for many years with her daughter, inspiring her to make this film about life in a Latina girl gang. The film is sympathetic to these young women, presenting their stories honestly and with a visual flair that the subjects themselves would probably appreciate. The stories are told as a series of vignettes with different narrators, each with his or her perspective on the events portrayed. This approach allows the characters the ...
