Waiting for the Barbarians (2020)
Directed by Ciro Guerra this film based on the novel of the same name stars Mark Rylance, Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson and Gana Bayarsaikhan. The magistrate of a frontier town finds you can not be a good man as part of an imperial system.
I enjoyed this art house style look at colonialism in a fictional setting. The plot maybe a little slow and the conflict fairly internal but this is still a good adaptation. The performances and landscapes really help carry the film.
4/5
