We were going to do a joke based on the old “a rabbi and priest walk into a bar” line, but we got stopped in our tracks when we had to go look up what people from Luxembourg are called. We are insanely jealous that they get to call themselves Luxembourgers. Anyway, a Luxembourger and a Dane stepped out onto a red carpet to see which one has the wackier dress sense. We’ll tell you right now, it was the Luxembourger. Yes, we know that Luxembourgish is also in use, but we’ve gotta say, it just doesn’t have the same flair to it. ANYWAY, here’s Vicky Krieps and Viggo Mortensen at the Paris premiere of their western The Dead Don’t Hurt.

Her outfit’s kind of fun, but if you’ve got Chanel at your disposal, we don’t know why you’d pick this. We’d like to see that jacket paired with items that don’t fight it so much for attention. Viggo, we say this with love, but a baggy, untucked t-shirt with a small-scale horizontal stripe is not your friend. But here’s the good news for you: It’s pretty much not anyone’s friend.

 

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
THE DEAD DON’T HURT is 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). After meeting Olsen in San Francisco, she agrees to travel with him to his home near the quiet town of Elk Flats, Nevada, where they start a life together. The outbreak of the civil war separates them when Olsen makes a fateful decision to fight for the Union. This leaves Vivienne to fend for herself in a place controlled by corrupt Mayor Rudolph Schiller (Danny Huston) and his unscrupulous business partner, powerful rancher Alfred Jeffries (Garrett Dillahunt). Alfred’s violent, wayward son Weston (Solly McLeod) aggressively pursues Vivienne, who is determined to resist his unwanted advances. When Olsen returns from the war, he and Vivienne must confront and make peace with the person each has become. Both a tragic love story and a nuanced depiction of the conflict between revenge and forgiveness, THE DEAD DON’T HURT is a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world dominated by ruthless men.
