Movies Watched -- Western (2018)

Added on by C. Maoxian.

120 minute running time which means it was 20 to 30 minutes too long. About a crew of blue-collar German guys building a hydro power plant in Bulgaria. It's sort of a modern cowboy thing, but just strange. The lead actor looks like an aged Marlboro Man with a two-pack a day habit. He's alone and he's lonely ... doesn't really get along with the other crew members, has a weird relationship with the Bulgarian villagers. Everyone looks poor and sort of hopeless, which reminded me of China. I wasn't thrilled, it just sort of made me uncomfortable, the whole movie. Not sure why Netflix has it listed as a thriller, but it's pure Art House stuff. Yellow rating if you’re interested in German expatriates in a Balkan country.
