Moschin and Fabian have good moments, and the photography of Dario Di Palma Death Laid an Egg is handsome, but the scoring of Angelo Francesco Lavagnino War of the Planets often undercuts the drama as if even the filmmakers were not entirely sure whether they were doing a serious western or satirizing one. By On: Yorkshire Magazine. The hippies are an interesting touch, particularly with Corbucci's seemingly middle-aged take on them as less idealistic and more opportunistic, simply rebelling against authority even Hud when he is wounded and easily slapped down with violence; on the other hand, if any character is truly emblematic of the era of production's ideals, it is Hud himself.

  • Gian Maria Volonte:Programme Notes.Qxd
    A Bullet for the General Italy | 1966 | 135 minutes Credits In Brief Director Damiano Damiani Considered by its director to be a political film rather than a western, this critique Screenplay Salvatore Laurani, Franco Solinas of US imperialism sees Volonte’s Mexican bandit Chuncho gradually become politically aware as a result of his manipulation by a US secret agent — a role Music Luis Bacalov played by Lou Castel, ironically another committed left-wing actor. Photography Antonio Secchi Cast Chuncho Gian Maria Volonté El Santo Klaus Kinski Adelita Martine Beswick Bill 'Niño' Tate Lou Castel While the Italian spaghetti westerns of the mid- 60s and 70s dealt with some minor political issues, mostly American capitalism, there was a separate subgenre of the spaghetti western called Zapata westerns that dared to go deeper. Zapata westerns were usually dealing directly with the Mexican Revolution of 1913 and were much more politically charged than the regular spaghetti westerns, which would often set the Mexican Revolution in the background. These Zapata westerns would usually be critical of US foreign policy, the Vietnam War, fascism, capitalism, and were usually made from a Marxist point of view. Perhaps one of the most popular and recognizable Zapata westerns aside from Sergio Leone’s Duck, You Sucker is the 1966 film A Bullet for the General, which was directed by Damiano Damiani. Relentlessly thrilling, refreshingly comical, and unafraid to embrace plenty of action, A Bullet for the General is not only the first Zapata western, but also one of the most fun spaghetti westerns out there. Beautifully shot, sharply written, and carried by unforgettable performances from Gian Maria Volonté, who found stardom through Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, and Klaus Kinski, the man who played the creepiest Dracula the world has ever seen, A Bullet for the General is an epic and sweeping journey with a powerhouse climax.

  • An Interview with Sergio Martino: an American in Rome
    1 An interview with Sergio Martino: An American in Rome Giulio Olesen, Bournemouth University Introduction Sergio Martino (born Rome, 1938) is a film director known for his contribution to 1970s and 1980s Italian filone cinema. His first success came with the giallo Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh (Next!) (1971), from which he moved to spaghetti westerns (Mannaja [A Man Called Blade], 1977), gialli (I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale [Torso], 1973), poliziotteschi (Milano trema: la polizia vuole giustizia [The Violent Professionals], 1973), horror movies (La montagna del dio cannibale [The Mountain of the Cannibal God], 1978; L’isola degli uomini pesce [Island of Mutations], 1979), science fiction movies (2019, dopo la caduta di New York [2019, After the Fall of New York], 1983) and comedies (Giovannona Coscialunga disonorata con onore [Giovannona Long-Thigh], 1973). His works witness the hybridization of international and local cinematic genres as a pivotal characteristic of Italian filone cinema. This face-to-face interview took place in Rome on 26 October 2015 in the venues premises of Martino’s production company, Dania Film, and addresses his horror and giallo productions. Much scholarship analyses filone cinema under the lens of cult or transnational cinema studies. In this respect, the interview aims at collecting Martino’s considerations regarding the actual state of debate on Italian filone cinema. Nevertheless, e Emphasis is put on a different approach towards this kind of cinema; an approach that aims at analysing filone cinema for its capacity to represent contemporaneous issues and concerns. Accordingly, introducing Martino’s relationship with Hollywood, the interview focuses on the way in which his horror movies managed to intercept register fears and neuroses of Italian society.

King Course Time & Location: Fridays, Online/Zoom/D2L 2:00-4:30 F Office: ART ANNEX (Shop) Office Hours: 8-5 Shop / M-TH Office Phone: 468-4416 Email: [email protected] Prerequisites: I. Course Description: This course will serve as an introduction to the European western film; more specifically, the films termed "spaghetti westerns" of the Italian cinema during the 1960's and '70's. We will study the artistic merits of such films, but we shall also take a greater view of the subject matter, hypothesizing the links to the sociopolitical situations in existence at the time, and how these conditions may have had an artistic impact on the films themselves. We are also interested in the larger art scene at whole, and how established movements, such as Symbolism, Surrealism and Expressionism may have had an impact on film-making at the time, intentional or not. Lastly, we are interested in the myth and reality of the American "Old West", and how these films interpreted this time period. By understanding the “bigger picture” to the phenomenon of the European western film, students can start to investigate and question arenas surrounding the films themselves; such as art movements and their influences, as well as political, social and historical concerns, along with the study of the technical merits of the film themselves. II. Intended Learning Outcomes/Goals/Objectives (Program/Student Learning Outcomes): We will study, through lecture, interaction and viewing of the films themselves, what established the notions of the western film and what possible explanations may exist as to why this genre came into being, thus influencing our modern perceptions of not only cinema, but society and our perceptions of reality.

Many overtly hegemonic films still reveal the existence of resistive structures buried within the narrative. Film criticism has generally avoided serious examination of this genre, and left it open to the purview of classical studies professionals, whose view and value systems are significantly different to those of film scholars.

    Issue #70 Featuring: TURN I’ll KILL YOU, THE FAR SIDE OF JERICHO, Spaghetti Western Poster Art, Spaghetti Western Film Locations in the U.S.A., Tim Lucas interview, DVD reviews WAI! #70 The Swingin’ Doors Welcome to another on-line edition of Westerns…All’Italiana! kicking off 2008. Several things are happening for the fanzine. We have found a host or I should say two hosts for the zine. Jamie Edwards and his Drive-In Connection are hosting the zine for most of our U.S. readers (www.thedriveinconnection.com) and Sebastian Haselbeck is hosting it at his Spaghetti Westerns Database for the European readers (www.spaghetti- western.net). Our own Kim August is working on a new website (here’s her current blog site http://gunsmudblood.blogspot.com/ ) that will archive all editions of the zine starting with issue #1. This of course will take quite a while to complete with Kim still in college. Thankfully she’s very young as she’ll be working on this project until her retirement 60 years from now. Anyway you can visit these sites and read or download your copy of the fanzine whenever you feel the urge. Several new DVD and CD releases have been issued since the last edition of WAI! and co-editor Lee Broughton has covered the DVDs as always. The CDs will be featured on the last page of each issue so you will be made aware of what is available. We have completed several interviews of interest in recent months. One with author Tim Lucas, who has just recently released his huge volume on Mario Bava, appears in this issue.

Carlson The Western is often seen as a uniquely American narrative form, one so deeply ingrained as to constitute a national myth.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Austin Fisher n many ways, the remit of this book revolves around an obvious Iproposition. The Spaghetti Western, as a transatlantic meeting place, is of necessity a cinematic category to be considered in international contexts, the hundreds of fi lms which the category comprises docu- menting shifts in Italy’s cultural outlook, as the reference points of American popular culture became ever more visible in the post-war years. Yet an Italo-American focus tells only a fraction of a story in which myriad strands of infl uence converged within, and continue to emanate from, this amorphous group of fi lms. Spaghetti Western is a classifi cation constantly in transit between cultures, genres and conceptions of taste, and its patterns of production, distribution and consumption display diverse acts of ‘border crossing’ and translation. By appraising a broad selection of fi lms – from the internationally famed works of Sergio Leone to the cult cachet of Sergio Corbucci and the more obscure outputs of such directors as Giuseppe Colizzi and Ferdinando Baldi – this volume seeks to reconsider the cultural signifi - cance of the Italian Western, its position within global cinema and its continuing trends of reception and appropriation around the globe. Scholarly volumes are always at pains to stress their timeliness in rela- tion to trends within their broader disciplines, and in this respect this one is no different. What Mette Hjort has termed Film Studies’ ‘transnational turn’ (2010: 13) highlights a desire to understand the ways in which cinema has offered a means to document the movement of peoples and identities across perceived cultural and spatial boundaries.
