On Friday evening in the Czech Republic, Viggo Mortensen will receive the KVIFF President’s Award at the 2024 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, which will open with a screening of his film, “The Dead Don’t Hurt.”
The award will come less than six weeks after Kevin Costner premiered his film “Horizon: An American Saga, Chapter 1” at the Cannes Film Festival, making “The Dead Don’t Hurt” the second recent Western set in the 1860s and directed by a person better known as an actor to have a splashy European screening.
Like “Horizon,” Mortensen’s film jumps between stories — but instead of moving between different characters across a number of different territories, “The Dead Don’t Hurt” moves back and forth in time.
