The restored version of the monumental epic Once Upon a Time in the West shines in glorious 35mm! Sergio Leone followed his groundbreaking Man with No Name trilogy with one of the greatest & grandest westerns of all time, a beautiful synergy of Tonino Delli Colli’s gorgeous cinematography, Ennio Morricone’s timeless music, perfect casting, dusty atmosphere, violence and attitude for a story of a mysterious stranger who joins forces with a notorious desperado to protect a beautiful widow from a ruthless assassin working for the encroaching railroad.
“Quite simply a masterpiece, Leone’s revisionist western is a mythic spectacle of a film and a landmark in cinema history.” – Film4
“Leone showed with Once Upon A Time In The West that it was possible to honour the Western tradition while raising the artistic bar to such a level that nobody has made a better Western since. In fact, nobody has made a better Western, period.” – Kim Newman, Empire
