In the movie Far From Men a reclusive teacher (Viggo Mortensen) is thrown into the woes of rebellion when he’s ordered to escort a villager accused of murder to prison during the Algerian War.
As their journey leads them through a deadly firefight between settlers and rebels, the two men on opposite sides of the conflict must join forces to survive in this adaptation of Albert Camus’ short story “The Guest.”
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis composed the original music for the movie, which is entirely in French.
