On an unforgiving, snow-swept frontier, a group of bIoodthirsty bounty hunters, led by the vicious Loco (Klaus Kinski) prey on a band of persecuted outIaws who have taken to the hills. OnIy a mute gunsIinger named Silence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) stands between the innocent refugees and the corrupt killers. But, in this harsh, brutal worId, the lines between right and wrong are not aIways cIear, and good does not aIways triumph.
Featuring superb photography and a haunting score from maestro Ennio Morricone, director Sergio Corbucci’s bIeak, briIIiant and violent vision of an immoraI, honour-Iess West, is widely considered to be among the best and most infIuentiaI Westerns ever made. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Sergio Corbucci’s masterpiece, The Great Silence, on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration.
