WESTERNS: Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of sex work, sexual assault. Spaghetti westerns are their own unique style, their own flavor, and one of the key issues is the dialogue is almost always sloppy and cheesy. Yet Sergio Leone, a true master of filmmaking, took that to a different artistic height, and really made it perfect with this film. This film is impeccably shot, with spans of John Ford’s favorite locations that would make the father of the genre salivate. The cast is top notch, with a truly evil villain made all the more bad by the fact that they got America’s Dad to play him. The only thing missing is punchier dialogue, but when it comes to Leone, it’s worth the eye rolls to wait for the next incredible shot.
