The Western: this cycle offers you three classics of the genre and the portrait of one of its great figures, Ennio Morricone, who has crossed the entire history of this movement. Usual prices. In 1966, the three Sergios (Leone, Corbucci and Sollima) invented a new genre: the Italian western. Distortion of shots, ultra-realism, baroque lyricism, anti-heroism, revision of history, violence… in a few years Italy invented a new mythology and reappropriated the classic American western to make it a political and aesthetic object that would have a considerable influence on world cinema of the 70s and whose echoes can still be found today. This cycle offers you three classics of the genre and the portrait of one of its great figures, Ennio Morricone, who has crossed the entire history of this movement.
