One of the strangest Italo-westerns ever created, Keoma is also one of the last. Keoma was put together as something of a fond farewell to the whole genre of spaghetti westerns, and you can really feel a sense of nostalgia, of warmth, and of anger in the film. It has a somewhat post-apocalyptic setting, and really sends the genre off with a bang. If you loved The Good the Bad and the Ugly or Fistful of Dollars, go ahead and put Keoma on your movie downloads queue.

The movie borrows liberally from other films in the genre, specifically Django, from where it gets the idea of setting the film in a town that’s been quarantined due to a plague, and the inhumane land barons who keep medicine out and quarantined patients in. The film has a very existential feel to it, so it’s kind of the spaghetti western answer to the great The Seventh Seal.

The existentialism is on display in more than just the atmosphere. Events can happen out of nowhere and take you completely by surprise. Certainly, many key points in the story have nothing to do with anything else in the plot, they just sort of… Happen, completely at random. As Camus said “the most existential thing would be to die in a car accident, completely at random”.

The half-Indian Keoma’s quest is to liberate his home town. This is complicated by his three brothers who work for the corrupt land baron. There’s some interesting family drama in here: Keoma loves his father, his brothers love the father. The father loves all four of his sons. Keoma’s brothers hate him, and in turn, he hates his brothers. They form a very uneasy truce for as long as their father is living, but it’s clear that it won’t last forever.

The movie uses an interesting soundtrack, mixing that great spaghetti western sound with some interesting folk music. The music might not be your thing, exactly, as it’s very “hippie” as far as these soundtracks go, but it’s interesting to hear something different on a spaghetti western soundtrack for a change.

The movie is very imaginative, with more clever, weird, funny ideas than a dozen other movies put together. In one scene, Keoma shoots it out with a gang of bad guys, spares one of them, and then hands him the live round that could have killed him. Later in the film, Keoma is tied to a wagon wheel and starts rolling, rolling all the way to safety. There are a lot of really cool “WTF?” type moments in the film just like that one.

Like many great stories, Keoma is a movie about family, about love and hate within a family. These stories have always resonated with audiences, because everyone has a family, so we can all relate to a dysfunctional family story.

The movie is exciting, funny, cool, eerie and atmospheric. It’s too bad that it was really the last spaghetti western, because it could have started a whole new trend of surrealist, existentialist, philosophical spaghetti westerns had we had just a few more years of the genre after the release of the film. Franco Nero was a legend of the genre, and this is as good a swan song as any.

This could lead to more permanent and costly damage. Rent Dvd Movies Online Mills also won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor. Sending all kinds of material usually gets you nowhere.
