It’s About Quality, Not Quantity
la resa de conti forever!
I voted Face to Face; it’s one of my favourite spaghetti westerns. I’m thinking of the full version, and probably the fact that there are different versions will skew the results of a poll like this. However, it’s pretty close for me, as I do love The Big Gundown a great deal.
My favorite is CORRI UOMO CORRI. Basically because I love Mexico
One of my favorite soundtracks. Great look / cinematography too.
But they are all great. LA RESA is a classic. One of the first and
next to Leone’s and Corbucci’s (and Quien Sabe and Sei Sei Vivo, Spara)
earlier films most influential entries in the genre.
FACCIA A FACCIA is superb too. Not the wig of Milian unfortunately.
Some flaws here and there. But any film with Volonte is great in a way
Yes, I am not alone!
hi Novecento remember me? btw run man run is my fav solima western so u and siegel
are not alone!!!
So we are a “triumvirate”!
Good to hear form you again “django live”. Not around much around on the board myself any more these days.
i loved ‘la resa de conti’ a lot i found his other two very boring and almoust unwatchble about 97%
Sergio Sollima was very good director, but he’s unfortunately a bit overlooked, as Corbucci and Leone were more famous directors…
My favorite Sollima’s spaghetti western was doubtless “La resa dei conti” (1966)…
New Spanish book about Sollima
I wonder what happened to Vincent Jourdan’s long-announced monograph on Sergio Sollima’s films. The project seems to have vanished into thin air.
good question, I just went ahead and sent him a message on FB. Update: book is finished but held up for different reasons. I have asked to be kept in the loop, I hope it reaches bookshelves at some point soon. But my French is rusty so I will have to wait for a translation
The world (and Italy) needs more HD releases of Sollima’s movies
Jourdan’s Sollima book will not be published by Éditions LettMotif but possibly by Éditions Rififi, who are currently trying to pre-finance it on the French crowdfunding platform KissKissBankBank.
Thanks for the update. I’d be interested in picking up a copy of this.
Sergio Sollima had a son, Stefano Sollima. He is also a director.
From Wikipedia:
Born in Rome, Sollima is the son of Italian cult director and screenwriter Sergio Sollima. He is best known for his gritty crime-drama films such as ACAB – All Cops Are Bastards (2012), Suburra (2015), and Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018), as well as the television series Romanzo criminale – La serie (2006–2008), Gomorrah (2014–2021) and ZeroZeroZero (2020).
I’ve seen Suburra from Stefano Sollima, it’s a good crime film.
