Keoma

Director: Enzo Castellari Enzo Castellari

Overview

Half-breed Keoma (Franco Nero) returns to his border hometown after service in the Civil War and finds it under the control of Caldwell (Donald O'Brien), an ex-Confederate raider, and his vicious gang of thugs. To make matters worse, Keoma's three half-brothers have joined forces with Caldwell, and make it painfully clear that his return is an unwelcome one. Determined to break Caldwell and his brothers' grip on the town, Keoma partners with his father's former ranch hand (Woody Strode) to exact violent revenge. ~ Paul Gaita

Editorial Reviews

Released at the tail end of the spaghetti Western's cinematic cycle, Enzo G. Castellari's Keoma is one of the genre's finest efforts. Its plentiful gunplay is choreographed with balletic grandeur, the camera work is sweeping and lyrical, and the script by Italian character actor Luigi Montefiore (aka George Eastman), is heavy with spiritual metaphor while still adhering to established Western tenets. The film's sole drawback is an often tone-deaf score by Guido and Maurizo de Angelis, but it shouldn't deter Eurowestern fans from seeking out the film. Anchor Bay's uncut, widescreen DVD presentation includes a brief interview with Nero, as well as commentary by Castellari and the original theatrical trailer.
