Vu sur ARTE, cycle en ligne "Roland Klick oublié cinéma des extrêmes".
A dirty German, but italian-like, pessimistic (yet humorous) western where the classic triangle of characters is exclusively made of irredeemablly "bad" ones to varying degrees.
Slowly walking towards its inescapable slaughter, a trademark of the genre, the film fills its time with the initial duo waiting like the audience, punctuated by comedy, betrayals and a few nice directing ideas to keep people awake.
Once the last element comes in "town", everything escalates quickly and betrayals keep raising, constantly shifting the power balance for the audience's enjoyment.
Of course, money is the fuel of all that. The film itself sustains interest mainly through its atmosphere and Can's music.
Score: 6,5/10
Enjoyment: 4/5
A promising start for this mini-cycle.
