The Great Silence trailer

Simply and starkly a great movie, one of the most unforgettable westerns ever made anywhere. A mute gunfighter, Silenzio (Jean Louis Trintignant) circles the vicious bounty hunter Loco (Klaus Kinski) in the snowy mountains of Utah, a prolonged duel which culminates in an unforgettable showdown. As usual, Morricone's score takes all this to another level, the icing on the proverbial cake. "It's anarchic and rigorous, sophisticated and goofy, heartfelt and cynical. The score, by Ennio Morricone, is as mellow as wine." AO Scott, New York Times Playing at VIFF Centre from March 25, 2025 Tickets: https://viff.org/whats-on/the-great-silence/
