I loved it.
I saw this movie in 1985, so the details are a little hazy. However, I loved it. It is in turns hilarious, frightening, bizarre. It goes after subjects that even now are very sensitive, not to mention thirty-five years ago. But No Surrender goes in all guns blazing and does an amazing job. If I recall correctly, and I'm pretty sure I do, that was Elvis Costello up on stage there.
If you can get ahold of this film, do.

How many times have we seen movies about someone whose dreams are frustrated, fighting for the chance to realize those dreams? Often. And often, too, an element of urgency is added by making this person one who is terminally ill.
In this version of that theme, a German woman has no wish but to sing in Nashville once before she dies. She is diverted to Jamaica and forced by circumstances to stay there long enough to notice that there is more happening right here and now than either her dream or her death. Her antagonist and co-protagonist is a Jamaican woman who is struggling with her own circumstances in a less than effective way.
The setting is colourful and provocative. The performances of the main characters and the struggles they face are convincing and affecting.
A couple of minor plot elements are indicated enough to be understood but not developed fully enough to be completely effective--no doubt the details can be found on a cutting room floor. The only addition I would have wished for would be a slight filling out of the characters' pasts, to increase the impact of their current circumstances. However, this is a minor criticism of a generally excellent film.
In total, an engaging, entertaining, and uplifting film; a good antidote for ennui.

what a wonderful show! it's just opened in vancouver, b.c. (the city in which it was filmed) and what a treat to see it.
eve and the fire horse is beautiful, funny, touching, and thoughtful. julie kwan gently and poetically illuminates difficult truths.
affection, death, racism, camaraderie, longing, evangelism across cultural lines and religious fervour are all touched on.
a very enjoyable film whether you are ten or 90. behind me in the theatre sat a family ranging almost that far and the laughter was spread equally across the row.
three thumbs up!
