Direction:
Andreas Prochaska
Storyline:
Via a hidden path, a lonely horseman reaches a small town high up in the Alps. Nobody knows where the stranger comes from and what he wants there. But everyone knows that they don’t want him to stay.
Opinion:
One might argue it’s an alpine western that also manages to move the film into thriller territory, capturing a rather poetic atmosphere. Riley gives a sensitive performance as the lone stranger and Tobias Moretti gives arguably his best portrayal of an antagonist ever.
