Why is the contrast in this picture so brutal? Is it only because of the lighting?

I took the picture with my Canon A1 through a Canon FD 1:4 70-210mm lens on CinestillXX film with ISO 400. I used a pretty small aperture because I had the setting sun on 10 o’clock. (The wind turbines in the back are about 4,5km away, the Minion less than 500m)

Yeah, pretty much. If you want less contrast, take the same picture at multiple exposures and combine them I’m post to create an HDR image.

Thank you, this seems to be a good idea for digital photography. But I don’t want to do that, because shooting multiple exposures on film is a bit too expensive for me.
