The Good, the Bad and the Ugly [4KUHD] [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Still with only a handful of 4K titles to its name, Kino Lorber has nonetheless impressed with its efforts thus far, testing the waters with the left-field choice of Hannibal in 4K, but really getting the attention of fans with its work on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release of Mad Max, which remains unreleased in other territories, and looks absolutely tremendous on the format, gifting the classic a whole new lease of life.

Cuando Clint Eastwood mataba forajidos en la sierra de Madrid"[When Clint Eastwood killed outlaws in the mountains of Madrid]. As others have referenced, would’ve been nice to get the whole Man with No Name trilogy, but I’d rather have a company focus on creating a single masterpiece with a transfer then do a mediocre job on three films.

Time has been kinder however, as this one just grows ever more glorious with every passing year and every subsequent re-watch.

He notes that Pauline Kael, for example, had appreciated how non-American films of the time "could exploit the conventions of the Western genre, while debunking its morality". Leone insisted, often forcefully, on shooting scenes from many different angles, paying attention to the most minute of details, which often exhausted the actors. The outdoor scenes of many Spaghetti Westerns, especially those with a relatively higher budget, were shot in Spain, in particular the Tabernas desert of Almería and Colmenar Viejo and Hoyo de Manzanares.I could easily tell that a lot of caref It's one of his most accomplished works - which is saying something - and gets some glorious presentation here too.
