Cemetery Without Crosses

Very well shot, and for the first half the sparse dialogue and melancholy tone work exceptionally well. The second half is still strong on style, but the motivations get muddled and the film as a whole loses some of its strength.

Cemitério sem cruzes estreava há 55 anos na França. Mais um Escargot Western, né? Não acho que esse se sobressaia tanto dentro do gênero como algumas pessoas pensam, mas sempre gostei dos filmes do Hossein e aqui não é diferente. Box Versátil Faroeste Spaghetti Volume 1.

More film noir style westerns, please. The anti hero of the movie putting on a glove before he kills people was a neat touch.

A very grim and nihilistic western, which isn't anymore about good vs bad, but about shades of bad. It's well shot and has an amazing soundtrack.

My 2nd watch and the film is definitely moving up on my list of best Spaghetti westerns. Director/star Hossein has clearly studied the craft of Sergio Leone and even got him to direct one scene, but he still manages to make this an unique western. Hossein the actor is more versatile than most of his peers and Mercier is very good as the widow - which must be one of the best female roles in the subgenre. The soundtrack is also good and supports the long, dialogue free scenes very effectively.
