Spaghetti Unchained! Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci and the Splendours of the Spaghetti Western
March 1-6, 12-14, 21-24, April 4-8, 12, 14-15, 19. Anchored by an exclusive run of the re-release of the Quentin Tarantino favourite Django, the reference point for Tarantino's recent hit Django Unchained, the Cinematheque's Spaghetti Western series features several classics from Leone and Corbucci, and a handful of other bad-ass Westerns all'italiana, including gems by Gianfranco Parolini, Giulio Petroni, and Carlo Lizzani. No less than eight of the ten films in the series were scored by Ennio Morricone, the composer whose music is virtually synonymous with the popular subgenre.
Tonight's screenings: 6: 30 p.m. A Fistful of Dollars (Per un pugno di dollari)
Italy/Spain/West Germany 1964. Director: Sergio Leone Cast: Clint Eastwood, Gian Maria Volonté, Marianne Koch, Pepe Calvo, Wolfgang Lukschy. (Sergio Leone's first Spaghetti Western introduced his eccentric, highly influential style, and created Clint Eastwood's iconic, poncho-clad Man with No Name persona).
Navajo Joe (8: 30 p.m. Un dollaro a testa)
Italy/Spain 1966. Director: Sergio Corbucci Cast: Burt Reynolds, Fernando Rey, Aldo Sambrell, Nicoletta Machiavelli.
Quentin Tarantino's favourite Spaghetti Western is Sergio Corbucci's super-bloody tale of revenge, starring Burt Reynolds.
