Cinematheque: Spaghetti Westerns

In a story pilfered from Kurosawa’s Yojimbo (which itself was inspired by Dashiell Hammett’s Red Harvest), an amoral wanderer with no name finds himself on both sides of a war between two families in a Mexican town. This classic created the worldwide craze for European westerns, turned Eastwood into an iconic superhero, and introduced movie lovers to the estimable talents of director Leone and composer Ennio Morricone. With Clint Eastwood, Gian Maria Volonté, Marianne Koch.
