The so-called ' Spaghetti western', a cult film genre
with an epicenter in Almeria in the 1960s, will live again next Saturday, with
a revival of a new edition of 'Crazy for the Western' and the representation of
the film “A Fistful of Dollars”'.
Los Albaricoques and its surroundings will celebrate a
cinematic past that changed the life of this small neighborhood of Níjar with a
show and open-air cinema, a free activity, which they return for a time to the
filming of the 1960s when this neighborhood was a set and its inhabitants lived
daily with the director Sergio Leone and a then an unknown Clint Eastwood.
The one chosen for this edition is "A Fistful of
Dollars", one of the mythical films of the 'Dollar Trilogy', along with
"For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the
Ugly" which were directed by Sergio Leone, they were filmed more than half
a century ago in these locations.
This year’s experience follows what was presented in
2018. Then it took place in the Cortijo del Fraile, with the representation of
the scenes shot in the environment of the film directed by Sergio Leone “Once
Upon a Time in the West”, with Claudia Cardinale, Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda
and other greats of the cinema, hand in hand and good work of specialists and
connoisseurs of western.
The 50th anniversary of the filming of this film was then
remembered and the seventh “Albaricoques of Cinema” the play was inaugurated
next to Cortijo del Fraile with the cinematographic productions that were
chosen at this scenario in 1968.
The 'Spaghetti Western', term was coined by the Spanish
journalist Alfonso Sánchez put Níjar, in particular, and the province of
Almería, in general, on the world map of cinema with cult films and
exceedingly, The Dollar Trilogy, a series of three unrelated movies of the
1960s, directed by Italian director Sergio Leone and with music by composer
Ennio Morricone.
These films revolve around the character played by Clint
Eastwood, sometimes known as Blondie (Blond), or Manco, who drew the prototype
of a nameless man: the same poncho, clothes and hat, and the same countenance.
