Unforgiven, 1992 - ★★★★★
The best Western of all time. Is it a deconstruction? Is it a celebration of the form? It certainly leaves you feeling that it’s the final word on what the whole genre represented and the bloody reality.
Gene Hackman deserved 3 Oscars for his performance.
Beautiful, brutal and righteous - “Unforgiven” is a masterpiece. Even more glorious in 35mm at Walter Reade theater at Lincoln Center
