Featured review
A face is a landscape
This is one of the four featurettes found on the Special Collector's Edition 2-Disc DVD of Once Upon a Time in the West, and the first of three parts detailing the making of the movie. It consists of interviews(recent as well as older ones; some of them in Italian, but subtitled), and a few stills and clips of the film. As the beginning of a trilogy, it is primarily concerned with the early aspects of Leone's life and career, the casting and similar. Those who did the excellent commentary track for the picture itself are among the speakers(including the director "Johns", Carpenter and Milius), and Frayling clearly knows what he's talking about. It's cool to hear Fonda(R.I.P.) and Cardinale reminisce; it's too bad we don't get Robards and Bronson(R.I.P.), I suppose they couldn't find any fitting material. This is well-edited throughout, and rather interesting. It keeps to a nice pace, not rushing and delivering a good amount of information for a 29 minute running time. This documentary does not spoil anything other than the opening sequence and an early reveal or two. There is no offensive material in this. I recommend it to any fan of the subject matter and/or of Sergio. 7/10
