WESTERN Film Review, 55th New York Film Festival

Valeska Grisebach’s WESTERN tells a story about an all-male group of German workers building a hydroelectric power plant in remote rural Bulgaria near the Greek border, and the conflict that arises between a new hire and his redneck site supervisor, as well as conflicts between the German workers and the local Bulgarian townees whose town is located not far from the border with Greece. Lots of metaphors here!
