The year is 1920. The Austro-Hungarian Empire has fallen and what remains has devolved into social unrest and political turmoil. Peter Perg, a soldier of the Great War, returns to Vienna only to realize the place he once called home is now unfamiliar to him. Having spent years as a prisoner of war, Perg is disillusioned by this strange, new city distorted by the nightmares of war. His world is further upended when a gruesome series of murders targeting veterans begins to unfold. Feeling connected to the victims, Perg decides to investigate the mysterious crimes. A stranger in his own city, the looming threat of a serial killer begins to take its toll on him.

If only the story of “Hinterland” felt as engrossing and alive as its setting.

The results are indeed praiseworthy, but in this CGI-savvy age, it's debatable whether their surface fascination adds a deeper understanding of the Great War's trauma.

The FX gives us an idea of how Perg sees the world, and Ruzowitsky has created a cinematic cross between Sin City and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. It’s astounding work, and I applaud him for pushing the digital envelope in such a smart and innovative way.

Hinterland’s high concept is let down by a weak script that doesn’t make the most of the film’s intriguing setting and talented cast.

Helped by lead Musu’s haunted charisma, Hinterland achieves some real emotional depth, as well as interesting perspectives on postwar politics, economics, guilt, and ingratitude.
