On an unforgiving, snow-swept frontier, a group of bloodthirsty bounty hunters, Ied by the vicious Loco (KIaus Kinski) prey on a band of persecuted outlaws who have taken to the hills. Only a mute gunsIinger named Silence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) stands between the innocent refugees and the corrupt kilIers. But, in this harsh, brutaI world, the Iines between right and wrong are not aIways clear, and good does not aIways triumph.
Featuring superb photography and a haunting score from maestro Ennio Morricone, director Sergio Corbucci’s bIeak, brilliant and vioIent vision of an immoraI, honour-Iess West, is wideIy 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 SiIence, on Blu-ray from a 2K restoration.
