From Monday 2 April – Monday 30
April, BFI Southbank will celebrate
one of the
undisputed masters of
cinema, Sergio Leone. While
they may not
have been the
first spaghetti westerns,
Leone's Dollars trilogy
of A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few
Dollars More (1965) and The
Good, the Bad
and the Ugly (1966)
are certainly the
best
known – they
paved the way
for Clint Eastwood
to break Europe
and for Leone
to have an
enduring influence on cinema.
As part of the
season, A Fistful of
Dollars will screen on
extended run from Friday 13
April, when it
is re-released in selected
cinemas by Park Circus. The season will include screenings of all of Leone’s
features, as well as a talk from Leone biographer Sir Christopher Frayling on
Friday 6 April.
Schedule of events:
FRI 6 APR, 18:00 – TALK: Sir Christopher Frayling on
Sergio Leone’s Very Italian Western
FRI 6 APR, 19:50 – SCREENING – INTRO: Once Upon a Time in
the West (Sergio Leone
1968) / Onstage: Sergio Leone biographer Sir
Christopher Frayling
SUN 8 APR, 16:15 – FILM PREVIEW: A Fistful of Dollars Per
un pugno di dollari (Sergio
Leone, 1964)
