Country singer Willie Nelson plays the amiable title outlaw who befriends Gary Busey. The two roam the Texas border region, both on the run from family feuds. A beautifully filmed, nicely philosophic and rather old-fashioned western with an elegiac tone, well directed by Australian
director Fred Schepisi (BREAKER MORANT), BARBAROSA features uniformly strong acting, with Busey and Nelson making a good team.
