South African Western ‘Five Fingers For Marseilles’ Gets A New Red Band Trailer

Five Fingers for Marseilles is a gritty, emotional, and beautifully shot Western that just released a red band trailer to wet your appetites ahead of its theatrical release on September 7th. The film, from director Michael Matthews and screenwriter Sean Drummond, is a brutal look at life in post-Apartheid South Africa.

While a town is ruled over by shady officials, one man, who’d been exiled years before, returns to Marseilles in search of redemption, but will test the limits of loyalty from his former brothers and friends, a rebel faction once known as the Five Fingers.

The original synopsis reads as follows:

The residents of the colonial town of Marseilles are under the thumb of police oppression and only the young rebels known as the Five Fingers are willing to stand up to them. Their battle is just, until Tau kills two policemen and flees the scene. The remaining rebels disband while the banished Tau resorts to a life of crime. Twenty years later, now known as feared outlaw The Lion of Marseilles, he is released from prison. He returns home, desiring only peace and to reconnect with those he left behind. The battle for South Africa’s freedom has been won, and former comrades-in-arms are in prominent positions as mayor, police chief, and pastor. But it quickly becomes clear to Tau that Marseilles is caught in the grip of a vicious new threat — and he must reconstitute the Five Fingers to fight frontier justice. Standing against former allies and new enemies, the re-formed Five Fingers saddle up and ride out, and put their lives at risk to save their beloved Marseilles.
