Hinterland (2013)

Filmed amidst the bleak moorlands and windswept coast around Aberystwyth, this bilingual procedural turns rural Ceredigion into a brooding psychological landscape. The lilting cadence of the Welsh language and deep-seated agrarian traditions shroud isolated homesteads in stubborn reticence. Tom Mathias must decipher not only hidden crimes, but the silent territorial codes etched into the bogland and crumbling stone cottages.
