it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
It's great to see Franco Nero (who else?) back as "the last gunfighter" of the title, in a wonderful black and white photography. Nero - hero of some of the greatest Italian-made western movies, starring in one of the absolute masterpieces of the genre, Corbucci's "Vamos a matar, companeros" - doesn't say a single word, he simply acts with his presence and his face. And that's enough to recreate the legend. The movie was actually filmed in a dismissed industrial area outside Turin, converted in a postmodern western location. Every detail is simply perfect, from the beginning to the end, making this short movie the latest masterpiece in Italian western.
Franco Nero is a gunslinger, per the film's title the last of his breed; he goes to an abandoned warehouse - the setting, presumably, is the present - and commits ritual suicide. An 8-minute short that's clearly an ode to the Spaghetti Western subgenre (though shot in black-and-white) and featuring one of its more durable stars. Even if very little actually happens - and, rather than utilizing music from Nero's own Westerns, the soundtrack draws on the instantly-recognizable scores composed by maestro Ennio Morricone for the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone films - it manages, in its limited duration, to be oddly elegiac and, indeed, is quite nicely done in every department.
If you love spaghetti westerns as much as I do, and that is a lot, you will probably enjoy watching this 10 minute short 7 or 8 times consecutively more than you would most other films, as I did, it's just that great! Franco Nero is... well... FRANCO NERO! And if this Dominici guy never makes a feature length film, not to mention a feature length spaghetti western, I will be enormously disappointed, he's got the talent to make 'em as good as the best ever did.Watch it and you won't be disappointed, in fact even if you hate Django, the 20 bucks you'll spend on it is well worth this extra disc alone(it's included with Django and comes on a little mini disc).
Great interpretation of Franco Nero! Very good the cinemathography of Dominici. Morricone's music arranged very well by italian pop group "Subsonica"
