The Wild Bunch
Sam Peckinpah / US, 1969 / 145 min.
Sam Peckinpah’s unembellished vision of the dramatic changes in the Old West culminates in a huge bloodbath in Mexico. The Wild Bunch is John Woo’s favourite Western, and screens to accompany the rerelease of his action film Hard Boiled.
This classic on changing mores and values in the Wild West paints a convincing picture of the physical and mental decay of a gang of older outlaws. They decide to go for one last big heist – but a bounty hunter is hot on their heels. A genre classic with William Holden, Ernest Borgnine and Robert Ryan.
