My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Image Entertainment)
General Custer is ordered to kill Indians by President Nixon. The Indians are portrayed as savages who have no right to their land in the eyes of God. Sitting Bull stalls for time by letting "the fool" argue the Indian side. Custer wastes time by romancing Catherine Deneuve, the cultured "white woman" of the title. It all takes place in a construction pit in modern-day Paris. The purpose of the anachronistic setting is only mentioned in a passing reference to Algerian immigrants. It's talky and pretentious, but it's greatest sin is that it is just plain boring.
