| ♥♥♥♥♥ | a strange western from a great director |
| Occasionally some of the great noir directors of the 40's and 50's like Fuller, nicholas ray, and billy wilder (wilder made a film in pretty much every genre) would make a genre film like a western.. When they did the results were very interesting as they used the same sorts of techniques in these films as they used in their other movies..
The sexual and psychological tensions of such movies like this one and johnny guitar would set them apart from your typical john wayne style western.. and subsequently they are often embraced by a more varied audience.. 40 guns is shot in painfully beautiful black and white cinema scope with a stylized technique which often takes very interesting angles on the action taking place in the scene.. The acting and dialogue is pretty typical for a fuller movie - deliberately over the top sometimes.. and the music which is so deliberately western it seems almost like a parody.. All these qualities make it very enjoyable and at times surprising to watch a movie in a genre i usually don't enjoy.. But fuller could turn any story into gold.. |
