THE GREAT SILENCE

“The greatest spaghetti western ever made,” according to Repo Man director Alex Cox, was never released in America until March of this year. (However, in 2012 we presented one screening of an English-dubbed version of it in a 35mm print from Europe.) Klaus Kinski (Aguirre, Fitzcarraldo) plays a vicious bounty hunter who locks horns with a mute gunslinger (Jean-Louis Trintignant of L’Amour and The Conformist) in the snowy mountains of Utah during the Great Blizzard of 1899. Music by Ennio Morricone, of course. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtiles. DCP. 105 min.
