SPAGHETTI WESTERN: COLTS, SLAPS AND BEANIES [52’]
The inspiration for great contemporary directors
The myth of the cowboy was born in the American studios, but when we talk about Westerns, one name keeps coming up: Sergio Leone, the great architect of the so-called "spaghetti" Western, because it was made in Italy.
This genre, initially intended to be purely mercantile by producing low-cost imitations of American Westerns, facilitated the emergence of new talents.
The spaghetti western became a true genre thanks to directors such as Leone, Corbucci, and Solima, as well as the music of Ennio Morricone. It will then, in turn, influence international cinema, notably by inspiring great contemporary directors such as Quentin Tarantino.
