Review of Keoma (1976) by Mike P — 06 May 2009
Spaghetti Maestro Enzo Castellari conjures up a really atmosphereic western with a good heaping of symbolism. The story is great and the action top notch...as always with Castellari films. Franco Nero is magnificent as the half breed Keoma who returns home to find it ravaged with plague and over run by baddies. The shoot out near the conclusion is great. Franco Nero is seriously one of my favorite actors and the more films I catch him in the more I love the guy! His emotional range leaves most in the dust. Keoma also benifits from the genius of Woody Strode. His character is definatly a major high light of the film. The score is rather unusual. Some find it detracting of the film...personally I love it and I own it.
One of the better spaghetti westerns!
