Just great. What else could you expect from Leone. I especially really like the introduction of Cheyenne. It’s a slow build up then he takes a swig from a bottle, lifting his hands up to reveal he’s in handcuffs… like 3 minutes after we were introduced to him. I think that one moment explains the intentionality with details that older filmmakers were really keen on.
