Why watch this film?
Directed by British musician Jaymes Samuel (brother of singer Seal) and produced by fellow musician Jay-Z, 'The Harder They Fall' is exactly what the title suggests: a movie about revenge, violence, and retribution. In the story, we follow a man (Jonathan Majors, from the series 'Loki') seeking revenge for the brutal murder of his family when he was very young. With an exquisite aesthetic and diving into a "black western" story, as some specialized critics call it, there are Quentin Tarantino vibes in this plot easily comparable to 'Django Unchained' and the like. Highlight, in addition to Idris Elba as the villain and Majors as this man with an irreparable thirst for revenge, to the always reliable Regina King (Oscar winner for 'If Beale Street Could Talk'), as an implacable henchman, and to Delroy Lindo -- perhaps the most striking figure of the feature film.

The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.

The Settlers
The Settlers (Los colonos), directed by Felipe Gálvez, is a Chilean film that appropriates the conventions of the revisionist western to explore a often marginalized side of Chile's colonialist history. The plot revolves around a landowner who hires an expedition to demarcate his property and open a path through Patagonia to the Atlantic Ocean. Who makes up the expedition? A young Chilean mestizo, an American mercenary, and an English lieutenant—a uneasy mix that generates tensions. Although scattered in tone and narrative, The Settlers is visually impressive and serves as a good starting point if you want to learn more about European colonization in Latin America, the repercussions of which are still felt today.

Dead for a Dollar
Directed by veteran of the Western and action cinema, Walter Hill (Revenge, Deadwood), Dead for a Dollar (Muerto por un dólar) is an austere and classic Western in its narrative. The story follows a bounty hunter veteran who must cross into Mexico to save the wife of a millionaire, but soon discovers that she is actually running from him and he must decide whether to protect her or return her. At times the budget shortages are noticeable, but its narrative explores a historically ungenerous era –and genre– with women and people of color. That, plus good performances by Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and Christoph Watz (Inglourious Basterds) make it worth a chance.

Old Henry
It is one of the few films that can even interest those who don't like westerns. Starring Tim Blake Nelson, it was nominated for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival and has been a worldwide success due to its great ability to keep us intrigued with the story of 'Old Henry'.

Never Grow Old
"Never Grow Old" is an Irish Western starring Emile Hirsch ("Into the Wild") and John Cusack ("Being John Malkovich") as the antagonist. The film follows Emile's character, a funeral director living in a peaceful, vice-free town whose peace is disturbed by the arrival of a stranger bringing alcohol, cards, and women. The vices destabilize the town, and though the activity proves lucrative for the funeral home, he realizes that the situation could put his family in danger. The film is slow and immersive, building up a lot of tension as it unfolds. The characters present a complex morality that cannot be easily defined as good or bad, and the performances of both protagonists carry the movie. It is a modern Western in all its implications, seeking ways to rekindle the genre and develop new conflicts.
