The Great Silence (1968)

A 1968 Spaghetti Western starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Klaus Kinski, and Vonetta McGee. Directed by Sergio Corbucci. This stark, snowbound Western flips genre expectations with a mute hero, a ruthless bounty hunter, and a haunting Morricone score. Emotionally moving and visually stunning, it surprised audiences with its bleak beauty. A cult favorite—and a major influence on modern directors like Quentin Tarantino.

Dr. Andrew P. Nelson, Chief Curator, will add context with a videotaped introduction to the film.

Generously sponsored by Marcia & Hugh Ruddock.
