Reception



Michael Sragow wrote that the film is "a wonderful introduction to Peckinpahs radically detailed historical film about American outlaws in revolutionary Mexico a masterpiece thats part bullet-driven ballet, part requiem for Old West friendship and part existential explosion. Seydors movie is also a poetic flight on the myriad possibilities of movie directing." Seydor and Redman were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject).[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz7NOQafoio "Breathing Lessons" winning Best Documentary Short-Oscars on YouTube][https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1997 1997|Oscars.org]
