Giray Izcan Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I just watched it on restored print at the New Beverly Cinema. I was blown away with the quality... Such a good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted July 7, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 Fantastic film, fantastic blocking and camerawork. And timeless. Still feels modern in its visual language. Sergio's films are like a film school in themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyuwBW9lNa8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giray Izcan Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Agreed... I love the lingering shots and the way the movie tells the majority of the story through visuals instead of and excessive amount of dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adam Frisch FSF Posted July 9, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2015 Interestingly, in the clip above, when Harmonica fires his gun, Sergio jumps the line. He's technically on the wrong side. Now today with the advanced film conventions and shorthand, that's fully acceptable. As long as you know who's where in relation to the others, an audience doesn't question that at all today. But to do that almost 50 years ago? Way ahead of his time.
