Viggo Mortensen's latest movie, "Far From Men," has just released its official international trailer. He stars in this film with Reda Kateb from "Zero Dark Thirty" and "A Prophet," as he is featured in the film during the onset of the Algerian War against France in 1954.
Viggo Mortensen's "Far From Men" movie will be making its premiere at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals, which has already been scheduled for next month. This is perhaps why the movie's official trailer has already been released for public viewing. Moreover, according to the fans, the trailer looks to be much better than they have initially expected it to be.
The story actually follows a unique friendship between two men that only begins as soon as the Algerian War intensifies. The movie, judging by its trailer, looks to be very endearing. In fact, movie critics have commented that it was beautifully shot.
Then again, the movie does involve Viggo Mortensen, and every movie that he stars in turns out to actually be very good.
The story focuses on a gritty tale of survival that was actually adapted from a shorty story that was written by Albert Camus. As written in the bestseller, Viggo Mortensen will be playing the role of a teacher who is a bit of a recluse. He ends up helping a villager, who has been accused of killing someone, escape in a certain Algerian region. All of this occurs amidst the entire country's struggle for independence. Taking a look at the bigger picture, it would seem that Viggo Mortensen's "Far From Men" bears the hallmarks of a classic endearing Western flick.
The director of the film, David Oelhoffen, who also happens to be a French writer, intended to expand Camus' short story "The Guest" into a learn, bleak story of survival that is brought to life by "taciturn, morally uncertain men."
