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.
Schedule of events for Sunday April 29, 2018:
Clint Eastwood’s final film with Leone ironically
produced some of their finest work during a period deteriorating relations.
Eastwood stars as Blondie who, in competition with two equally dangerous and
resourceful men, is after a stash of stolen Confederate gold. The resulting
film is surely one of the greatest westerns ever made.
SUN 29, APR, 18:30 “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”
