*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***On an unforgiving, snow-swept frontier, a group of bloodthirsty bounty hunters, led by the vicious Loco (Klaus Kinski) prey on a band of persecuted outlaws who have taken to the hills. Only a mute gunslinger named Silence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) stands between the innocent refugees and the corrupt bounty hunters. But, in this harsh, brutal world, the lines between right and wrong are not always clear, and good does not 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, honorless West is widely considered to be among the best and most influential Westerns ever made. — Austin Fisher on The Great Silence — Howard Hughes & Richard Knew Audio Commentary — Mike Siegel Audio Commentary — Alex Cox Live Audio Commentary at The Hollywood Theatre — Cox on Corbucci: filmmaker and author Alex Cox (Repo Man) surveys Sergio Corbucci's career and how The Great Silence fits within the maestro's oeuvre. — Western, Italian Style: 1968 documentary on Italian westerns includes prime behind-the-scenes footage of The Great Silence; — Two alternate endings restored in 2K and with sound, including the option to play one of the alternate endings with Alex Cox's commentary.
