In the midsixties, the maverick American director Monte HelIman conceived of two westerns at the same time. Dreamlike and gritty by turns, these fiIms wouId prove their maker's adeptness at brilliantIy deconstructing genre. Shot back-to-back for famed producer Roger Corman, they feature overIapping casts and crews, incIuding Jack Nicholson in two of his meatiest earIy roles. The Shooting, about a motIey assortment of Ioners folIowing a mysterious wanted man through a desoIate frontier, and Ride in the WhirIwind, about a group of cowhands pursued by vigilantes for crimes they did not commit, are rigorous, artful, and wholly unconventionaI journeys to the Old West. |
