'Keoma' (1976) - Enzo. G. Castellari.

I recently rewatched Castellari's dark, stylish masterpiece 'Keoma' (1976). I absolutely adore everything about this one, Nero, Strode, Berger, G & M De Angelis and the uncommonly beautiful, Olga Karlatos! Franco Nero's itinerant, steely-eyed, knife-throwing Keoma has a potently mythic quality, an ascetic with a shotgun? savage or saviour? Sinner or Saint? Who knows, but, Keoma is undeniably one of cult cinema's most righteous avenging angels!
