In 1880s Nebraska, a bleak frontier frames the Blue Hotel where a naïve Swedish immigrant envisions the perfect Western dream. Unable to accept his romantic delusions, he reads murderous intent in every glance, alienates the guests, and tragedy ensues. Jan Kadar’s film asks whether his paranoia or the cliquish locals are to blame.
