The Great Silence

FROM THE LINER NOTES

On an unforgiving, snow swept frontier, a group of blood thirsty bounty hunters, led by the vicious Loco (Klaus Kinski) prey on a band of persecuted outlaws who have taken to the hills. As the price on each head is collected one by one, only a mute gunslinger named Silence (Jean-Louis Trintignat) stands between the innocent refugees and the greed and corruption that the bounty hunters represent. But in this harsh and brutal world the line between right and wrong aren’t always clear and good doesn’t always triumph. Featuring superb photography and a haunting score from maestro Ennio Morricone, director Sergio Corbucci's bleak, brilliant and violent vision of an immoral, honor less west is widely considered to be among the very best and most influential Euro-Westerns ever made.
