A FILM BY Kristian Levring

A luridly beautiful, lavishly violent western

It’s all quite engaging, beautifully shot and staged, with very satisfyingly choreographed action scenes.

- Peter Debruge, Variety

Kristian Levring redonne ses lettres de noblesses au western avec ce film visuellement magnifique.
