Storia
In the harsh and unforgiving Old West, Liz is a mute woman who has built a life for herself despite her troubled past. She is hunted by a relentless reverend who believes she is responsible for his wife's suicide years ago, despite Liz's innocence. The reverend, driven by an obsessive desire for retribution, stops at nothing to track Liz down and punish her. As the chase unfolds across the brutal frontier landscape, the line between justice and vengeance blurs.
Riassunto
Brimstone is a neo-Western thriller directed by Martin Koolhoven in 2016. The film challenges romanticized notions of the American frontier with its gritty portrayal of brutality, misogyny, and religious hypocrisy. Starring Guy Pearce as the vengeful reverend and Dakota Fanning as Liz, the mute woman being pursued, the narrative explores themes of abuse, obsession, and retribution. The story is told through a unique structure that interweaves four chapters, each focusing on different stages of Liz's life. Despite its complex storyline, Brimstone maintains a consistent pace and tension throughout.
