And God Said to Cain
And God Said to Cain is a 1970 spaghetti western starring Klaus Kinski. Kinski plays against type as an anti-hero who isn't insane, unlike his usual bat-shit crazy characters. I can highly recommend this. It has a cleanly linear betrayal/revenge plot without any of the unnecessary sub-plots that so often get in the way. The characters are well-drawn and well-acted, and it has a sinister atmosphere that takes full advantage of the growing dark brought by the oncoming tornado.

I like westerns so I'm taking your recommendation. I also like that you said there aren't any subplots to bog it down. I added it to the list on my blog, so I can watch it at some point in time. :-)
ReplyDeleteKinski did crazy extremely well, but it was good to see him not go there in this.
DeleteNever heard of this or the star. At first glance I thought he was Gary Sandy

DeleteKinski is an acquired taste, leaning so heavily on crazy as he does. He lived a controversial life.
