See trailer for The Dead Don’t Hurt 

A story of star-crossed lovers on the western U.S. frontier in the 1860s. Vivienne Le Coudy (Vicky Krieps) is a fiercely independent woman who embarks on a relationship with Danish immigrant Holger Olsen (Viggo Mortensen)…until the American Civil War comes along and changes everything.

Reviews:

The Guardian: The star directs, writes, composes and acts in this beautifully shot and sombre film about an old-school hero in a 19th-century frontier community fraught with tragedy.

Roger Ebert 3.5 stars out of 4. The Dead Don’t Hurt” has standard genre elements, but treats them as a way into something different than the usual.

Tickets £6.50/£5.50 available from HEART reception and online
