The Salvation

From 14 January to 1 February 2015, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) will screen The Salvation, a gripping Western that pays homage to the classic genre of cowboys, bandits, spectacular shoot outs and the American Wild West.

Fans of Western films will delight in this searing tale of revenge and honour from one of Denmark's most accomplished directors, Kristian Levring (The King is Alive and The Intended). Imbued with a Nordic temperament, The Salvation follows Danish brothers, Jon and Peter as they leave Europe in the 1870s in search of a better life as ranchers in the New World. With hard work and grit they purchase a modest plot of land and Jon sends for his wife and son to join him.
