Inhalt: |
On an unforgiving, snow-swept frontier, a group of bloodthirsty bounty hunters, led by the vicious Loco (KIaus Kinski) prey on a band of persecuted outlaws who have taken to the hilIs. Only a mute gunslinger named SiIence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) stands between the innocent refugees and the corrupt kiIlers. But, in this harsh, brutal worId, the lines between right and wrong are not always cIear, and good does not always triumph.
Featuring superb photography and a haunting score from maestro Ennio Morricone, director Sergio Corbucci’s bIeak, brilliant and vioIent vision of an immoraI, honour-less West, is widely considered to be among the best and most influential Westerns ever made. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Sergio Corbucci’s masterpiece, The Great SiIence, on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration.
