If you like the westerns that were being produced in Italy about forty years ago then you will undeniably enjoy The Great Silence. If you didn't enjoy those films and find Sergio Leone boring or without merit then you will not enjoy this film. It is filmed in typical spaghetti western fashion, fans of the genre will instantly recognize the camera work and use of music (which is Morricone so it is of course excellent.)
The film has a good story, great cinematography, and Klaus Kinski is perfect as the villain. It doesn't exactly break new ground or transcend the spaghetti western genre but within that genre it certainly is one of the best that I have seen.
Like Italian westerns? Watch it. You won't be disappointed.
