Without a doubt. Perhaps even a classic of this genre, already so well-stocked across the Atlantic, an edifice to which he has already contributed a lot. With its haunting and tortuous atmosphere, depicted wonderfully by dark photography which plays heavily on chiaroscuro, as well as contemplative shots of the rocky hills burned by the sun contrasting with the twilight falling on the arid plains (we also feel that the actor-director-producer learned well at the Leone school), and his characters of men who are nevertheless without fear or weakness in appearance but so tormented in their flesh, embodied wonderfully by a lineup of fabulous actors in tune (Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, and of course Clint himself).
Unforgiven therefore has all the criteria to be included among this. As bitter as it is captivating, this fable of the West, told like a legend in which the greatest outlaws wanted to be included at all costs, filmed with class and sobriety the quest for redemption through weapons and violence of a man who can no longer escape what he really is...
So, cowboys don't always hide and cry! Fans of the genre will undoubtedly appreciate what presents itself as the best western that Eastwood has directed in his long and flamboyant filmography. As merciless as it is inescapable. 10/10.
