Those riding with him in this assured, righteously new school Western include his former love Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), his right and left hand men—hot-tempered Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) and fast drawing Jim Beckwourth (RJ Cyler)—and a surprising adversaryturned-ally. Rufus Buck has his own fearsome crew, including “Treacherous” Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield), and they are not a group that knows how to lose. Jeymes Samuel’s THE HARDER THEY FALL is a new school western, made with incredible style and an unflinching vision. Montclair Film is proud to present THE HARDER THEY FALL as the Fiction Centerpiece of the 10th Annual Montclair Film Festival.
