Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

29 October 2019

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) is one of my favorite westerns. Starring Claudia Cardinale, Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, and Jason Robards, it takes a lot of inspiration from older western films (waiting for the train in High Noon, having the classic one on one standoffs or in-town gunfights, etc.). It's directed by Sergio Leone, and kinda considered a spaghetti western (though in my opinion a different caliber to other films he directed, like The Good, The Bad and The Ugly).

It's a classic, although it's also a little dated at this point, so I don't think it has the same impact if you're not used to that era of film. But it's one of my favorites. 10/10
