Possibly one of the most engaging and Powerful European movies of the year with great storytelling, acting, directing, cinematography, art Direction, costumes and makeup. This film uses all the tools of the western genre. Wide landscapes, settlers developing harsh lands, the fight against greed, injustice, cruelty and impunity of the ruling class, a stubborn loner who learns to follow his heart and old vs. New technologies, in this case agricultural, settlers fighting rich land owners, racial prejudices and of course a showdown with a powerful obligatory scene. Mads Mikelsen is a phenomenal actor and the perfect choice to play Ludvig Kahlen. He is a superb actor. Throughout the movie you feel all kinds of emotions yourself: Anger, hatred, sadness, frustration, disgust, joy, relief- a roller coaster ride of emotions. All in all, it is a fantastic, well-rounded film and a great cinematic experience.
