Written and Directed by John Maclean

UK/New Zealand / 2015 / Action/Thriller/Western / Rated 14A for graphic violence and brief coarse language / English and French with English subtitles / 84 min.

Set in 19th century Colorado but undeniably European in sensibility, Slow West tells the story of sixteen-year-old Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee) as he travels from Scotland to Colorado in pursuit of his lost love. Quickly confronted by the dangers of the American frontier, he teams up with a mysterious traveler named Silas (Michael Fassbender) who agrees to protect him – for a price. Jay’s quest will be one of double-crossing peril and violence, as the guileless adolescent learns that the West takes no pity, least of all on the innocent.
