Created as a response to the deaths of Malcolm X and Che Guevara, The Great Silence is your favorite politically-charged, revisionist Western that you haven’t seen yet. The film stars Jean-Louis Trintignant as โ€œSilenceโ€, a mute gunslinger who is opposed by the bounty hunter โ€œLocoโ€ played by Klaus Kinski. The film questions vigilante justice and grey morality in a freezing snowy landscape. A favorite of Alex Cox and Quentin Tarantino, this โ€œno-hopeโ€ cult classic is not one to be missed, so we’ll see you there!
