Excellent video. I just discovered the film not to long ago and watched it in Italian with subtitles. I must say that I loved it. I don’t know if I would say it is my top western. I don’t think it is my top Italian Western. It is probably the most original western I have ever seen though. The bleak dark ending I had heard about but it is still as chilling as the setting the film takes place in. I think both the worst and best part of the ending is that it can’t really be picked apart logically. It makes too much sense that it would end this way . And as an aspiring writer and maybe someday director it has made me think more and more about the western I am currently writing. I do think a modern remake would be awesome. I could just see Zoe Saldana playing Pauline. Although I don’t know if a silent protagonist would work today. And the bleak ending is a maybe.

Trintignant was a French actor known for his intellectual movies having worked with Vadim, Lelouch, Rohmer. So today an actor with a similar background would be perfect. I would suggest Louis Garrel.
