The Salvation
Cannes Film Festival held a press conference earlier today during which the 2014 Official Selection were announced. In addition to opening night film GRACE DE MONACO which was earlier announced, the lineup includes films from David Cronenberg, Jean-Luc Godard, Tommy Lee Jones, Ken Loach and Ryan Gosling debut as a director.
Also included among the lineup is Kristian Levring’s “The Salvation” described as a large-scale western drama rooted in Scandinavia. The story takes place in America in the 1870s. When settler John kills his family’s murderer, he unleashes the fury of the notorious gang leader Delarue. Betrayed by his corrupt and cowardly community, the peaceful pioneer must turn vengeful hunter, slay the outlaws, and cleanse the town’s black heart. Mads Mikkelsen plays the Danish settler John, and the international cast also includes Eva Green, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Mikael Persbrandt and Jonathan Pryce.
