The Great Silence
Sergio Corbucci’s wintry western pits a mute gunslinger (Jean-Louis Trintignant) up against a gang of bounty hunters, led by the ruthless Tigrero (Klaus Kinski).
Director: Sergio Corbucci
Overview
On a bleak snow-swept frontier in the late 1800s, a gang of ruthless bounty hunters, led by Tigrero (Klaus Kinski), prey on a band of persecuted outlaws. Only a mute gunslinger named Silence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and a vengeful widow (Vonetta McGee, making her film debut) stand between them and justice.
Featuring a beautifully haunting score from Ennio Morricone, Corbucci’s unforgiving, brutal film gained a cult following in the wake of its release and has been credited by Quentin Tarantino as a major influence on his work.
