The Great Silence (1968)

The Great Silence (1968) is Corbucci's bleakest masterpiece, distinguished by its snow-covered setting, a mute protagonist in the form of Jean-Louis Trintignant, and a deliberately tragic ending so dark that distributors demanded an alternate happy ending for some markets. This film's portrait of bounty hunters as institutional murderers makes it the most politically radical Spaghetti Western ever made, with a body count of 12 killings portrayed with visceral intensity.
