Bavarian comedian Karl Valentin once remarked, “Everything has already been said – but not yet by everyone.” There are two good reviews of Sergio Garrone’s Una lunga fila di croci by Phil and Simon, to which I have nothing to add. Just one thing perhaps: What really astonished me were two black-and-white flashback scenes during a cockfight attended by the movie’s main villain, Fargo. What purpose do they have? They show events from Fargo’s past, probably how he has become the man he is now. I couldn’t make head or tail of them. Well, I’m not the only one.
By the way, can anybody explain to me what the bizarre cockfighting/flashback scene was all about?
Seriously though does anyone know what that flashback/Cockfight scene was about?
P.S.: What the heck were those black & white flashbacks??? :o
