Buy This Item Where the Rivers Flow North by Allumination  Available from Amazon  $7.98  on 11-27-2008     Rip Torn was critically acclaimed for his commanding performance in this 1993 drama set in Virginia in 1927. <i>Where the Rivers Flow North</i> is about an old-time logger who defends his property against a pair of power-company executives (Michael J. Fox and Bill Raymond) seeking to build a dam on Torn's leased land. Native American actress Tantoo Cardinal is equally superb as Torn's longtime partner and ardent supporter, and the strength of their relationship is what gives this modestly budgeted, beautifully photographed independent feature most of its high-spirited appeal. The film, adapted from a novel by Howard Frank Mosher, was written and directed by Jay Craven, and would likely have earned Rip Torn an Oscar nomination had it been more widely seen at the time of its release. <i>--Jeff Shannon</i> Reader Reviews The best movie I have ever seen! Should have won best director, best picture, best actor and best actress.
