SE SEI VIVO SPARA

Cinemavixion Review

Giulio Questi's 1967 "Se sei vivo spara" (Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!) is a peculiar entry in the Spaghetti Western canon. The film presents a surreal, almost hallucinatory vision of the Old West, where disparate factions clash over stolen gold. The narrative weaves through a bizarre ensemble including a half-breed bandit, a group of gay cowboys, and a clergyman, each with their own motivations and methods. Tomas Milian anchors the chaotic proceedings with his characteristic intensity, supported by Marilù Tolo and Piero Lulli. While perhaps not as widely recognized as some of its contemporaries, "Se sei vivo spara" stands out for its audacious themes and distinctive, often brutal, visual style, offering a unique and challenging perspective on the genre.
