Gold

About This Movie

So, 'Gold' from 2013, what a piece. It’s set in the wilds of 1898 Canada, where a small band of German settlers heads into the unknown. The whole thing has this gritty, dusty feel to it—lots of wide shots showing off the harsh landscape. Wilhelm Laser, the leader, is quite the character, flamboyant and a bit reckless, which adds some tension among the group. The pacing has its moments; slow at times, but that really builds the atmosphere of uncertainty and desperation. The performances are solid, especially when you consider the practical effects used for the wagon scenes. There’s a real sense of struggle, ambition, and the sheer unpredictability of life back then. Not your typical Western, but definitely worth a look for its distinct vibe.
