The Dead Don’t Hurt at GFF

3 and 4 March, 2024

Viggo Mortensen writes, directs and stars in this original take on the classic Western, in a story that centres on the adventurous life of fiercely independent Vivienne Le Coudy, played by Vicky Krieps.

Viggo Mortensen heads back to the 1860s for this moving romantic Western. Vicky Krieps stars as French-Canadian Vivenne, who falls for Danish immigrant Holger Olsen (Mortensen). The pair move to a frontier town in Nevada as the threat of the Civil War looms. When Holger decides to fight for the Union, Vivienne faces serious threats on the homefront, courtesy of the town’s corrupt mayor (Danny Huston), his rancher business partner (Garret Dillahunt) and the rancher’s violent son (Solly McLeod). Elegantly crafted and featuring powerhouse performances from Krieps and Mortensen, the actor-turned-writer/director delivers an emotionally satisfying drama.

In English, French and Spanish with English subtitles
