Title: “But I’m not the right man, and neither is he.”
Review: For most people, you’ll either love Sergio Leone’s “Spaghetti Westerns” or dismiss them outright. There’s not a lot of middle ground between the two positions. Critics initially panned and derided these films but over the decades they have become much loved and respected by critics and fans alike with many claiming these westerns are among the best of the entire genre. After filming his famous Clint Eastwood driven “Dollar Trilogy” Leone would go on to make this serious magnum opus. A continuing fusion of his particular style of Italian grand opera and his long-standing homage and reinvention of the American western. This iconic film has most all the themes of the genre. Leone borrows from John Ford’s “The Searchers”, “My Darling Clementine” as well as films like Ray’s Johnny Guitar and many others. The operatic style is typical and is right off the bat shown in the opening gun fight scene. A scene which most film makers would have last a minute or two billows up to a 12+ minute movie within a movie. Humor, pathos, tension, irony, violence all packed in to this one scene to introduce Harmonica, one of the main characters of the movie. It’s pure Leone. Or the fantastic introduction of Jill, the one main female character. She gets off the train and in one of the great single unbroken shots in all of cinema walks across the platform through the train station and out the other side to a stunning crane carried camera shot of the thriving western town of Flagstone all done to the beautiful, heart-breaking Jill’s theme composed by long time Leone collaborator Ennio Morricone. Every time I watch this scene it sends shivers up and down my spine. Again, pure Leone. If you are a fan of modern frenetic paced CGI ladened films then Leone will probably not be for you. But if you love cinema as a pure art form then give this grand opus western a try.This 4K UHD release from Paramount is somewhat controversial to say the least with reviews both here and across the web. And while I agree with most purists’ comments on the video presentations’ problems it will still be a top-notch in home cinema experience for the vast majority of viewers. There is no doubt that there is some DNR present along with a noticeable lower bitrate that creates a “smoother” picture than is intended by Leone. The gritty, grainy feel to this film is missing here. It is not quite that fatal as I think most viewers including this one will enjoy the excellent color timing and wonderful 3D pop with the Dolby Vision HDR and its now greatly illuminated interiors, glistening sweaty faces and overall detail. The sound is clear and does great service to the wonderful score and the dialog is easy to hear. Most all the special features are ported over from previous disc releases and are quite interesting. This release is highly recommended despite the slightly compromised video remastering and is still a glorious home viewing experience of an absolutely essential western classic.

Title: Not Only a Great Western, but Also an All-Time Movie
Review: I admit I watch it every year because the story is so rich and the look and feel of the movie complement the great acting jobs by all the principals. Four great characters whose individual subplot lines are all woven around the main plotline makes for a compelling story that is majestic and meaningful. Set against the Spanish landscape where the film was shot, the effect is overwhelmingly gorgeous. Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack swells and adds yet another layer to the masterpiece.The acting is spectacular. Henry Fonda cast against type as the villain “Frank”, Charles Bronson as the mysterious “Harmonica.” Jason Robards as the outlaw “Cheyenne,” and Claudia Cardinale as the widowed landowner “Jill McBain” each play their roles with a quiet intensity that propels the story.Modern moviegoers may balk a bit at the rather rudimentary (and sometimes clumsy) cuts and story jumps that make the plot meander at points, but viewers need to set aside the technical and watch the story as it unfolds and then comes together at the climax.Sergio Leone was a masterful director and his use of close-up shots (sometimes extreme close-ups) is another angle that makes this movie (and some of his other work) extremely riveting. Add to that the languorous opening scene that modern audiences simply would not abide and you have a movie that was outside-the-box in many ways. The story’s relatively slow progression remains riveting even with the occasional divergence (that turns out not to be a divergence at all) packs a punch and ties up tightly. Many may prefer the Clint Eastwood fueled trilogy of “A Fistful of Dollars,” “For a Few Dollars More,” and “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” but (and this is admittedly my personal taste) I have always found “Once Upon a Time in the West” as being his strongest offering in his oeuvre of Westerns.
