Dances with Wolves -- Set in the Dakota Territory of the 1860's, the story centers on a soldier (Kevin Costner) at a deserted frontier fort who embarks on a voyage of self discovery when he is befriended by a Sioux tribe and falls in love with a white woman (Mary McDonnell) adopted by them. Also directed by Costner, the film's sensitive treatment of Native Americans, exceptional cinematography and fine performances compensate for its excessive three-hour-plus length. Much gory battlefield violence, minimal, restrained lovemaking and a flash of rear nudity. (A-III) (PG-13) 1990
