Collab - Spaghetti westerns
Spaghetti westerns, a subgenre of western films, are distinguished from older,
classic westerns by their production location, cast, and stylistic
choices
They
were largely produced in Europe, particularly Italy, during the 1960s
and 1970s, often featuring Italian directors and casts, with a mix of
American and other actors.These
films are known for their low budgets, gritty realism, morally
ambiguous characters (often antiheroes), and a more cynical, violent
tone compared to the idealized American westerns featuring clean-cut, heroic cowboys.
The genre's creator is generally attributed to Sergio Leone, an Italian director who pioneered the style with Per un pugno di dollari.
Sergio Leone followed up A Fistful of Dollars (1964) with two sequels, For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (1966), both of which feature Eastwood and Van Cleef. Known as the Dollars trilogy, the three films are widely considered some of the best spaghetti westerns ever made.
Bert has spent over a decade getting all the details right for a cosplay of Clint Eastwood's characters in those 3 movies, so we made a shot of it in the western town of El Paso in Wuustwezel.
