Per un pugno di dollari (1964)

Englisht title: Fistful of Dollars.

Remake of Yojinbo. A stranger rides into a town which is being devastatated
by two clashing clans' fight over power.

At one point a character, during a spying mission of sorts, says "this is like playing cowboys and indians". No, seriously. From which it is definitely established that the Italians invented postmodernism. Otherwise it is just another unnecessary remake. Granted, the music is good, and the film is rather well directed considering its low budget. But it simply doesn't rock.

Seen in a dubbed version.

Rating: 45
