incredible winter scenes on location--- this film cost a bundle to produce.
Jean-Louis Trintignant and Klaus Kinski are an art-house dream team in this arty oater about a mute killer who only targets bounty-hunters. Kinski is the maniacal "Loco" (a somewhat tame monicker for both actor and character, considering their respective reputations and deeds), the killer that efficiently goes about ridding the Utah territory of criminals, having no truck with arrests, trials, or judging--- content (very much so) to save those institutions the time and effort.
Not anywhere near as great as the films of Sergio Leone, yet the sight of a crazed-eyed Kinski vigorously spurring his horse down a precipitous, snowy decline is amazing--- and must have caused the producers sleepless nights. To see the sophisticated and urbane Jean-Louis outfitted in cowboy attire, sporting a beard, and dispensing lead instead of witticisms indeed is amusing.
The opening winter scene is dazzling, certainly as memorable as any I can recall.
