A friendly reminder: our Editor in Chief, Viggo Mortensen does not have any social media accounts of any kind. He selects most of the articles and quotations we post, but doesn't even use our Twitter account. This is unlikely to ever change.

Using piano, violin, and cello, Mortensen has crafted a soundscape of intimate melodies, at times reserved and meditative and others deeply suspenseful and plaintive, capturing both the onscreen action as well as the film's deeply nuanced portrait of revenge and forgiveness.
