230: SFFCH – The Great Silence [1968]

230 The Great Silence.jpg

What’s this!? Snow in my Western instead of sand and dirt?! Ok, Ok, we figure you’ve probably seen The H8teful Eight but this one came first! And if you think that film was grim and violent, just wait ’til you see where it got it’s inspiration from! The Great Silence is this week’s film, a somewhat subversive look at the classic trope of the American Western told by Italians, with a crazy German too. So come and join our discussion on: lots of men in coats shooting guns (and appendages), too much talk of chicken eating, getting ‘loco’ for Loco and whether the producers were right to demand a different ending.
