G's Trailer of the Day: The Great Silence (Il grande silenzio, 1968), or The Big Silence



Though Django is his most famous character, Sergio Corbucci's The Great Silence is by far his best film. To avenge the death of her husband, a women hires Silence, a mute gunslinger, to kill the man responsible. One of the rare westerns to feature a snowy landscape. The contrast between the clean snow and violent images is stunning.
