Majestic western
Who would’ve thought that two of the best movies released in 2014 were westerns? After seeing My Sweet Pepper Land I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this modern western, a genre that normally doesn’t appeal to me that much. The Austrian movie Das finstere Tal (aka. The Dark Valley) again pushes the boundaries of the western genre. Not the American frontier, but the Austrian Alps at the end of the 19th century are its setting. Aesthetically this is one of the most beautiful movies of the year, especially because of its winter landscapes in the Alps and the almost desaturated blue-grey color palette. Storywise it seems like something Tarantino could’ve made, if he got off the coke and took some tranquilizers: a story of vengeance and raw characters but with a slow burn effect. At the same time this movie strikes an emotional nerve and provokes a melancholic atmosphere by constantly maintaining a dreary and ominous effect. With its use of an anachronistic soundtrack it never gets too heavy though. This should’ve been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Seriously.
Top-notch Revenge Western
Some people have compared this movie to The Great Silence, which is quite a good movie, whereas this one excels in story and production values. The Great Silence is set in similar landscapes but this Western’s location is stunningly beautiful and wonderfully filmed. The acting is quite simply brilliant and the story is extremely good. Though the story starts off quite slowly, it quietly builds into a quality revenge movie with a bit of a difference, as you will see. It has huge emotional impact and I would put this up there with Shane, High Noon & The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I am telling it how it is – just watch and see. Hollywood will remake this, I am certain but it will never be anywhere near as good. Even the soundtrack is excellent and used to good effect in one certain scene, which may or may not work for you (you’ll know what I mean when you watch it). Quite simply a magnificent German movie achievement. A deserved 10/10. I loved it. My favorite Western in years.
