Man comes back for his wife from a time ago, but he is not a good man. This is where the trouble starts as another man falls in love with the woman. Drama based western for the most part, and is basically your run of the mill euro western of the time period.
Yes I know, but I thought this kind of topic would be more dynamic than single movie topic, like this one or “the last movie you watched” are. To add more talk about spaghettis on this forum, we are slightly neglecting them.
I disagree. The whole point of the spaghetti western forum is to discuss certain movies. so once we start dumping all movie talk into one topic, what value does the search or individual topics add? very little. Quite the contrary, if the minute you watched a spaghetti western, you update a specific movie topic with your latest thoughts, you keep the dynamic of the forum going and revive discusions on certain films, etc
My blu-ray of Slow West (MacLean, 2015) arrived yesterday so I gave it another look today. Liked it better than I did the first time out, and I liked it pretty well back then. It really is a stunningly beautiful picture, and it comes as little surprise to find that it was filmed in “Middle Earth” itself - New Zealand. I didn’t realise however that writer/director John MacLean is a former member of Scottish indie folk noodlers The Beta Band.
Red Headed Stranger (1986)
-This is sort of a little hidden gem, at least I had never heard about this western with Willie Nelson before until few days ago when a friend told about it in fb. Nelson plays a preacher who tries to help a little town which is being controlled by a family who owns the water supply of the region but after some tragic events he turns into a outlaw gunfighter. Nelson is supported by R.G. Armstrong and they make a good team. Worth checking.
Keoma - singing aside this is a good spaghetti. Clearly inspired by the wild bunch with slow motion. Also like Castellari’s use of flashbacks in live action so we see keoma’s memories through his own eyes as he remembers events with his brothers.
JESSI’S GIRLS - A woman is after the killers who raped her and murdered her husband. Typical 70s exploitation western that, unsurprisingly, ain’t too good at all. The main theme of the score is repeated so many times during the film it’s pure madness. Oh well, at least the chicks were good looking.
The Hateful Eight. What a nice movie! I don’t understand people who hate the movie. Two of my work colleagues were very disappointed. But I loved it! Western and a bit of Agatha Christie. 5/5 Stars
