Five Fingers for Marseilles

About the movie

Twenty years after fleeing from the brutal police aggression in colonial Marseilles, a member of the Five Fingers returns seeking peace, but with the town under new threat, he must reluctantly fight to free it, in this thriller from South African filmmaker Michael Matthews.
‘Five Fingers for Marseilles’ fuses western influences, from classic to spaghetti and revisionist eras, into a contemporary South African drama played in local tongue by four generations of acclaimed South African stars. The great westerns always contained socio-political threads, and Five Fingers’ loose allegory on today’s South Africa is edge-of-the-seat, and starkly human.
“Almost too entertaining” – Variety
“Five Fingers is a necessary addition to the Western film canon as we know it.” – Shadow and Act
“Steady pacing, gorgeous photography, consistent themes, and breakthrough performances” – Black Girl Nerds
