This listing is for the standard edition 2-disc 4K UHD/Blu-ray. The limited edition hard slipcase + slipcover combo was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the packaging and the 40-page book.

Description

On an unforgiving, snow-swept frontier, a group of bloodthirsty bounty hunters, led by the vicious Loco (Klaus Kinski) prey on a band of persecuted outlaws who have taken to the hills. Only a mute gunslinger named Silence (Jean-Louis Trintignant) stands between the innocent refugees and the corrupt bounty hunters. But, in this harsh, brutal world, the lines between right and wrong are not always clear, and good does not always triumph. Featuring superb photography and a haunting score from maestro Ennio Morricone, director Sergio Corbucci’s bleak, brilliant and violent vision of an immoral, honorless West is widely considered to be among the best and most influential Westerns ever made.

    One of Best Westerns Ever

    as a fan of western genre this stands up with all the other greats, as a release, this doesnt disappoint. while not perfect, this is best its looked on home media. extras and packaging are top notch. Was lucky to order this early to get the deluxe edition, but even the standard available is a must own for cinephiles
