Sam Peckinpah’s unembellished vision of the dramatic changes in the Old West is one of the ten favourite films of Michael Mann, to whom Eye is currently devoting a film programme.
Michael Mann speaking to BFI about The Wild Bunch:
“No other picture captures the poignancy of “the last of”, a fin de siècle sense of the West, of ageing, of the pathos of twilight."
