5.0 out of 5 stars The special effects are absolutely mesmerizing 22 Sep 2007
By Jacques COULARDEAU
Format:DVD
Inspired from the French comic strip Blueberry, this film is an attempt at going beyond what a comic book cannot provide but cinema special effects offer galore. We can thus descend into a visualization of all the phantasms and haunting guilt or frustrations that possess one's psyche. That dimension is extremely interesting and marvelously successful. The meaning itself is rather simple: the greed of some white looters looking for the gold of Indians against the magic of Navaho Indians to protect their land, their riches, their sacred mountains and their sacred world beyond the surface of things. Blueberry is in-between because he was raised by the Indians but he has become the Marshall of a small city through which the looters are going. Note the Indians can successfully defend their heritage only thanks to a white man who has made the effort of understanding them. I find this slightly biased even if truthful in a way. The second lesson is that the magic attributed to the Indians is nothing but a trancelike state induced by some beverage that makes the individual confront his own deepest fears and frights, desires and wishes. One has to ,confront these demons and vanquish them, conquer them, in order to come back rejuvenated, enhanced in one's life. Apart from that the film is slightly simple in content but it is saved by the digitalized special effects that become like graphic art.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like westerns, look elsewhere. Otherwise it's AWESOME 27 Feb 2005
By doppelganger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Did you ever meet your beast? The other other reviewer is exactly right in that it's a metaphysical experience. Looking at the back cover, I wonder if the person who wrote the description had any idea what the movie was actually about.

There is realism here. Everyone is speaking different languages as it was; French, Spanish, English, Native Americans tounges, etc. Pioneers are looking for gold, and Madsen is looking for His gold (I won't spoil). He's an AWESOME villian, but you already know that. Everyone else is fantastic. The special effects are really well done, and thorough (excellent production value).

About halfway through, I was thinking this is an awesome movie, and toward the end, speechless. Totally stunned, the credits rolled by.

I'm a sci-fi junky, and this didn't seem like it was really up my alley, but was recommended. And thank God, because sometimes the best movies are the ones that you never even heard of.

The reviewers who hated this movie should ask themselves what they wanted out of it, and then maybe go jump out a window for the rest of our sakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB PSYCHEDELLIA 5 July 2008
By Garland G. Hewlett - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Renegade (aka Blueberry)SUPERB PSYCHEDELLIA- This film literally blew me away. It is the most accurate portrayal of a full blown high dose psychedellic experience that I have ever seen in a motion picture. Too bad Tim Leary isn't around on the physical plane to have caught this one. I am sure that he would have praised it to no end with his considerable mastery of the written word.
As a film, the cinematography is excellent and the editing places the visuals and story line into the realm of pure poetry. This is no ordinary western, but an epic mystical journey that harks back to the glory days of Carlos Casteneda's Don Juan novels. The film gives due reverence and respect to the American Southwestern Indians and their use of the peyote cactus as a healing tool for bringing wholeness to those who are wounded by their past and by the evil that is a part of life and that is responsible for those tramas.
It is interesting to note that Juliet Lewis appears in this film and that she also stared in NATURAL BORN KILLERS which also features and extremely well done and realistic mushroom trip involving snakes and the reptilian levels of consciousness that psychedellics activate deep in the brain.
I found that it took me many hours to fall asleep after watching this movie because I was so excited to discover that someone had suceeded in creating such a wonderful and faithfull vehicle for communicating the awsome mystery and healing properties of the psychedellic experience. I can only say that this one hit it's target and is truly a masterwork of cinematic and spiritual art!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Animals Are Beasts, But Men Are Monsters" ~ Facing the Terror Within 9 Aug 2005
By Brian E. Erland - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
To truly become a man one must conquer his fear of 'Two Worlds,' the temporal, mundane world in which we live and the intangible, eternal spirit world within. Mike Blueberry (Vincent Cassel) or "Broken Nose" (his Indian name) has come to his defining moment in life. An old enemy has returned to town, the man responsible for the death of his first love. Will Mike be able to conquer the enemy from his past as well as his inner demons that have tormented him since that tragic event? Or will he succumb to his fears and remain forever nothing more than a man and a monster?

Recipe for the making of 'Renegade': Take the opening twenty minutes of 'Dead Man,' the greater middle portion of 'The Emerald Forest' and mix in a little '2001: A Space Odyssey' at the end and you have 'Renegade.' Not a bad blend by any means.
