you gotta love the spaghetti western universe. the vision of a west where good guys get shot point blank with no warning and cartoonish villains chew the scenery in extreme close ups and and the anti hero walks away from the girl in the end. a lot of people call corbucci films wouldepressing. i find that a bit dodgy as far as descriptions go. i think bleak and unforgiving are more apt mostly because wouldepressing suggests a level of sentimentality almost every eurowestern director ignored in favour of painting characters in broad strokes. gli specialisti must be seen in all its widescreen glory before it can take its proper place in the sergio corbucci canon. it a beautiful movie. and it makes sense that corbucci wanted to blow off some steam with companeros after the unremitting one two punch of the great silence and this (although he would later revert back to his usual tricks with the foulmouthed sonny and jed). there still a certain amount of caricature that detracts from the overall grimness of the movie and imo it hurts more than does any good to have a needless inclusion of three kids dressed like hippies skulking around town in search of gold and trouble. and it hurts to have mario adorf playing mexican one handed bandit el diablo as over the top as he always plays his characters. those minor gripes aside there more than enough here to wet the palate of the spaghetti aficionado. shootouts galore and the population of an entire town reduced to crawling naked in the dirt and the typical iconic badassitude of the laconic antihero (played by johnny halliday) and the moral bankruptcy of almost every character in the movie. corbucci might never receive the acclaim of the more famous sergio or the american patriarchs of the genre but you and i know that a gross injustice for a very talented director. his dynamic shot selection and in depth staging with objects sticking close to the camera and receding in the background and his flair for quick pacing and feverish energy in moving a story that wasn not always all that along and the way he photographs open spaces and everything in his work makes me sure that if corbucci was american and had emerged 15 years later along with mann and hawks and the cahiers du cinema critics would have lauded him as an auteur worthy of serious critical consideration.
