The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

During the American Civil War, three gunslingers – the Good, the Bad and the Ugly – set out in search of a fortune in gold buried in a remote cemetery. Each holds a different piece of the information that will lead them to the treasure, and every alliance is merely a prelude to the next betrayal. Sergio Leone was the subject of a special tribute at the festival’s inaugural edition, and now, for our 15th edition, we return to his legendary film, the culmination of the “Dollars Trilogy” and one of the most influential and beloved Westerns in cinema history. Through vast landscapes, extreme close-ups, black humour and sequences stretched to the limits of suspense, Leone reinvents the mythology of the Western. Ennio Morricone’s unforgettable score completes a film whose images and sounds have become part of cinema history.
