The Dead Don't Hurt director Viggo Mortensen and co-star Vicky Krieps about Shout! Studios' new Western, which Mortensen also wrote.

“This leaves Vivienne to fend for herself in a place controlled by corrupt Mayor Rudolph Schiller and his unscrupulous business partner, powerful rancher Alfred Jeffries . Alfred’s violent, wayward son Weston aggressively pursues Vivienne, who is determined to resist his unwanted advances. When Olsen returns from the war, he and Vivienne must confront and make peace with the person each has become.
I took that, and I did this same approach with The Dead Don’t Hurt. The difference was… Hopefully, you always learn something, but was to trust myself a little bit more after you’ve talked with your crew, your cinematographer, but you have a pretty clear idea of how you wanna do something. If someone disagrees and they say, “Well, no, I think you should do this also, and that,” and then if you really are sure, I’m not gonna use it in the editing room. So I don’t wanna spend the time.
Vicky, you have such a great performance in The Dead Don’t Hurt. Westerns in the past have largely had a male point of view, but this story is very much Vivienne’s just as much and focuses on what she goes through. What did you like most about this role and her really driving the narrative?: I like about her that she’s like me. She’s allowed to be a normal woman. I see myself very much as a normal woman, even if I’m an actress, and you see me as the actress, I never see myself as the actress.
