Little Big Man
The 1970 Arthur Penn film “Little Big Man” is a darkly comedic epic that defies the conventions of the traditional Western genre.

Growing into a skilled warrior, Jack bore witness to the grim mistreatment of Native Americans by the US government.
“Little Big Man” proved a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of America’s dark historical chapters, urging audiences to confront uncomfortable truths. The film achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success, cementing its status as one of the greatest Westerns ever crafted.
