The Great Silence, a brilliant and wild western in 4K Ultra HD

In the small town of Snow Hill, a bounty hunter named Tigrero (Klaus Kinski, phenomenal) reigns terror by slaughtering the peasants of the region. Then, out of nowhere and in the snow, an enigmatic and mute horseman named Silenzio (Jean-Louis Trintignant) appears.

Two years after the extreme Django with Franco Nero, Sergio Corbucci, the third of the illustrious "Sergio" of the spaghetti western, signs Le grand silence. The pinnacle of the genre produced in 1968, Le grand silence constitutes the cruel negative of Leone's cinema. Here, everything takes place in dirt and snow, the film is breathtakingly beautiful.
