Slow West

You’re a lonely man.
01 June 2021

Six years on and I still love this short, cruel journey through the old west.

Survival rules and the man without a gun is not long for this world. This comes to a head in the closing scenes—one of the all-time great shoot-outs.

A gruesome, darkly funny fairytale with a brilliant performance from Fassbender.
