Sergio Leone

A maior parte dos críticos cinematográficos dos anos 1960-70 minimizou ou despre- zou o valor estético dos filmes vinculados ao ciclo de spaghetti westerns, produzidos naquela época no eixo Itália-Espanha. No entanto, Sergio Leone, principal cineasta a emergir do ciclo, rompeu essa barreira ao longo dos anos e se tornou um diretor respeitado pela crítica. Mapear como ocorreu essa trajetória e avaliar os motivos que levaram a essa mudança no estatuto de valor associado ao trabalho de Leone são os objetivos deste artigo, que toma como estudo de caso a coleção de todos os textos sobre os filmes do diretor publicados, a partir de 1964, na revista Cahiers du Cinéma, referência obrigatória na crítica cinematográfica internacional.

This comprehensive study brings together leading international scholars in a variety of disciplines to both revisit the Spaghetti Western genre's cultural significance and consider its ongoing influence on international film industries. The book provides a range of innovative perspectives on this discrete and perennially popular topic. The book consists of four sections: Trans-Genre Roots; Ethnic Identities, Transnational Politics; Asian Crossovers; and Routes of Relocation, Transition, and Appropriation. Its rigorous historical, cultural, and political enquiry engages with current scholarly trends and balances specialized contextual knowledge with recognition of the instability of national/local identities. The book provides fresh interrogations of the myriad ways in which the Spaghetti Western has influenced contemporary filmmaking practice across national industries.

Sergio Leone

Spectacle, myth, fable. These are the main categories that have traditionally defined Sergio Leone’s cinematic production, but it is necessary to underline how much they are fueled by a profound, layered political interest. Leone’s cinema bears witness to a critical outlook both on the subjects it showcases and on its representational means. Far from any militancy and escaping ideological classifications, Leone’s perspective is problematic and unreconciled: it is grounded in the coexistence of different elements in a state of perennial productive tension and instability. The adjective “political” takes on a deeper meaning when it is used to denote the director’s ability to narrate and interpret key aspects of Italian national identity and history. The abstract quality of his production relies on an original use of different genres, particularly sword-and-sandal and the Spaghetti Western, which allowed Leone to insert frequent symbolic references to both history and then-current events. On the stylistic level, his constant disobedience to classical models and his need to revolutionize forms were motivated by an authorial desire to make films politically, though still within a conception of cinema as an industrial spectacle.
