Sonny & Jed / La banda J. & S. Cronaca criminale del Far West (Sergio Corbucci, 1972)

Definitely better in English or Italian with subs, but it’s not enough to turn it into an interesting film. Some remains of Corbucci’s once superior style, but it all went quickly downwards after Companeros.

I personally quite like this one but I absolutely despise the ā€œgirl somehow falls in love with the guy who’s been raping and abusing her for half the movieā€ trope.

I think the misogyny was probably intended to be funny, but just got way out of hand … I won’t make any excuses for it however.

It is a pretty miserable little film, definitely not funny, and also quite boring and pointless - The only reason for me to keep a copy is out of historical interest … and to follow up on comments made, I don’t think any 4K restoration will improve the palatability for the viewer.

How the hell can you not see difference in misogynist film and film with misogynist character? This is a damn good film about fucked up relationship.

Nor sure about that :wink: I think they attempted to copy Bonnie and Clyde and overdid it.
