Strange Way of Life's synopsis reads: "A man rides a horse across the desert that separates him from Bitter Creek. He comes to visit Sheriff Jake (played by Hawke). 25 years earlier, both the sheriff and Silva, the rancher who rides out to meet him, worked together as hired gunmen.

"The strange way of life referred in the title alludes to the famous fado by Amalia Rodrigues, whose lyrics suggest that there is no stranger existence than the one that is lived by turning your back on your own desires."

Elsewhere on the cinematic menu this September is The Creator – signalling the return of director Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) – the fourth Expendables flick, and A Haunting in Venice.

Strange Way of Life is set to be released in UK cinemas on September 25 for one night only.
