I wish I had read these reviews before watching this. I didn't love it.
Don't get me wrong, there's definitely an audience for this film. Another reviewer mentioned it in the same sentence as 'El Topo' or 'Django Kill', and I totally agree, that's where this film resides.
It's definitely a cult piece. As I understand it, this director is more famous for horror films. Perhaps he should have stayed in that genre, but I guess he had something to say that couldn't be presented in that context. This isn't a horror film at all. It's not really an anything film.
I could say that nothing really happens, but that wouldn't be exactly true. It's just, whatever happens is kind of boring and a bit of nonsense.
If, like me, you're a lover of Spaghetti Westerns and think this has a bit of a badass title, don't be suckered in by the title - give it a miss.
If you're into things a bit arty, with a bit of a more subtle story, go for it.
