Five Fingers For Marseilles Comes To VOD October 23
Five Fingers For Marseilles is currently in the middle of its limited theatrical tour, but if you’re not on the list of cities, you can see it in about a month’s time when Uncork’d Entertainment releases it to VOD. Five Fingers For Marseilles is a Western, yet it doesn’t take place in the West. Instead, it takes the tropes familiar to Western-set stories and transplants them into South Africa. The movie takes place in a small town newly liberated from Apartheid policies, yet only technically — the citizens still suffer under the thumb of officials who rule and dominate the town ruthlessly. Until the day a young outlaw rides into town…. 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.
