Excellent foreign Western
28 August 2017
'Das finstere Tal', or 'The Dark Valley', is an excellent Austrian revenge Western and one of the best foreign language films I've watched recently. I'm surprised that this film didn't even get nominated for best foreign picture of 2014 because, unless 2014 was an abnormally strong year for foreign films, I can't imagine there being many better than this.

Everything about 'Das finstere Tal' has the feeling of a high-end, mega budget production. The cinematography is outstanding with some breathtaking shots of the Austrian alps, where the film is set. I also liked the narration and the film has some really cool music, especially during the shoot-outs. Overall this is a very slick production. An excellent foreign Western that deserves a lot more recognition.
