Episode 109: "The Four Seasons Of Film" - Winter: The Great Silence (1968)
With chilling seasonal vibes and a bleak ending that's numbingly frigid, this winter western totally embraces its icy nature and paints the white snow spaghetti-sauce red. Boltered by beautiful cinematography, a killer score from Ennio Morricone, and a memorably menacing performance from Klaus Kinski as the loathsome Loco, The Great Silence offers a fascinating revisionist take on the western that sets it apart from the rest.
