Unique style and repeatedly sketched scene structure

Similar to this kind of slow-paced westerns, you can only integrate yourself into the plot if you let yourself go, which is different from mainstream westerns, a wonderful viewing experience!

When the protagonist played by Sam Riley faces his biological father, the facial expressions of the characters are really touching.

There are constant climaxes, but the soundtrack of the last part of the 1V4 shootout is somewhat unsatisfactory, creating a slightly weird atmosphere! A little drama!

The whole film is mostly narrated in the voice of the heroine to promote the development of the whole story, but the proportion of characters in the film is not high, and the story is not strong!

Overall a good technical film!

The Dark Valley quotes

  • [first lines]

    Luzi: [narrating] Some things may not be spoken of things from the past--from long ago. But this does not mean you can ever forget them. There are things that can never be forgotten.

  • [last lines]

    Luzi: [narrating] He almost died of fever. He was ill for three weeks. Nobody said a thing, though there were many who wanted to chase him away. Or do worse. Old Brenner had sown his seed in every family. And freedom is a gift that not everyone likes to receive.

    Luzi: This year spring came earlier than usual. It was in March, just before noon, when Greider headed off. He looked back one last time. That was the last time I saw him. That day I told Lukas that I was with child. He was pleased and proud, because at last something good had happened.
