The Dead Don't Hurt
The hit of last year's Toronto festival stars the fantastic Vicky Krieps and Viggo Mortensen as immigrants struggling to carve out a life in the rugged American Wild West. Blending Western, melodrama, and revenge cinema, the film is filtered through the director’s poetic sensitivity.
