In the 1860s, fiercely independent French-Canadian Vivienne Le Coudy embarks on a journey with Danish immigrant Holger Olsen, attempting to forge a life together in the dusty town of Elk Flats, Nevada. When Holger decides to go fight for the Union in the burgeoning Civil War, Vivienne must fend for herself, which isn't easy in a town controlled by a corrupt mayor.

Am already cautious when I come to actor directing and ACTING their own films. The way Viggo directed the movie surprised me, it was pretty good to be honest and the cinematography was divine as well. Yet the concept of the movie was weak and distasteful.

Aragorn makes out with a French-Canadian woman in a pile of cow shit (and makes it look really cool)

Raw dogged this one with no subtitles (not by choice) think I understand maybe 50% but good.
