just watched The Big Silence aka The Great Silence (1968):
a classic spaggeti western from Sergio Corbucci......my take is, Corbucci is to Leone as Fulci is to Argento. Everything is a bit sloppier and more extreme. The atmosphere and mood is everything here. Grim and cold are the impressions this flick leaves you with. If Django is blood in the mud....this gem of movie is blood in the snow. Klaus Kinski is terrific as the sadistic bad guy.
Definitely a movie worth checking out!!!
