The Outrage

The Outrage

Was It an Act of Violence or an Act of Love?

196496 min5.9 / 10

A morally complex, frame-narrative Western that interrogates truth and justice through conflicting testimonies about a violent crime, leaving fundamental questions about guilt and innocence deliberately unresolved.

At a disused railway station, three men -- a con artist, a preacher, and a prospector -- discuss the recent trial and sentencing of the outlaw Juan Carrasco for the murder of a man and the rape of his wife. In their recounting, the three explore the conflicting testimonies of the parties involved in the crimes. Disconcerting new questions arise with each different version of the event.
