Abstract

In 1993, hard on the heels of Dances with Wolves, Sam Shepard's small budget Western, Silent Tongue, made a fleeting appearance in art-house movie theatres. The film received appreciative coverage in those publications for which paying attention to offbeat, slightly avant-gardist cultural manifestations is part of their liberal self- image, but not unexpectedly, mainstream media took no heed. Instead, Dances with Wolves was heralded as a culturally authentic, politically correct, revisionist Western.
