The Dark Valley

Andreas Prochaska's western – the Austrian box office hit of 2014, winner of multiple awards: a dark secret, a remote high valley and a taciturn stranger (Sam Riley). No one knows where this stranger, who calls himself Greider, comes from, and no one wants him here. The sons of the Brenner farmer would probably have chased him away if Greider hadn't given them a handful of gold coins. Greider is given shelter for the winter by the widow Gader and her young daughter Luzi. Luzi, who is about to marry her fiancé Lukas, is filled with fear. Because in this village, weddings are linked to a terrible tradition. The film adaptation of Thomas Willmann's bestseller of the same name, ‘Das finstere Tal’ (The Dark Valley), is a furious mixture of multi-layered western and gripping drama.
