‘Ulee’s Gold’

An unadorned and unexpectedly moving look at personal redemption and the resilience of family, this outstanding 1997 film stands out for its sureness, its quiet emotional force and writer-director Victor Nunez’s ability to find and nurture the mystery and power in the events of an ordinary life. Set in northern Florida, “Ulee’s” is built around a compelling performance by Peter Fonda (pictured with Vanessa Zima) that unmistakably echoes the work of his father Henry while serving as the capstone of the son’s long career as well (Cinemax Friday at 8 p.m.).
