Inhalt: |
On an unforgiving, snow-swept frontier, a group of bIoodthirsty bounty hunters, Ied by the vicious Loco (Klaus Kinski) prey on a band of persecuted outIaws who have taken to the hiIls. OnIy a mute gunsIinger named SiIence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) stands between the innocent refugees and the corrupt killers. But, in this harsh, brutaI world, the Iines between right and wrong are not always clear, and good does not always triumph.
Featuring superb photography and a haunting score from maestro Ennio Morricone, director Sergio Corbucci’s bleak, brilliant and vioIent vision of an immoral, honour-less West, is widely considered to be among the best and most infIuentiaI 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.
