Corbucci was a real chameleon filmmaker, stuff like Django and the Great Silence is so gritty and bleak but there's a playfulness and sense of humour to the other two and they're similar to some of Leone's westerns on that respect. Well worth seeking out.  |
Thanks Paul.
Pete recommended
The Great Silence to me last year but i never picked it up.
I'll have a look at
Companeros. Its under a fiver new on dvd from BU.
You mentioned Milian. I'm currently watching series 2 of
Miami Vice and he popped up in the episode
Bought and Paid For. Had his name not been in the special guest list during the opening credits i wouldn't have recognized him.
