In Reply to: NO irony in either of them. Leone made farces. Don't you feel posted by tinear on January 2, 2008 at 07:27:07:
But the naturalism of Olmi bears comparison with Tolstoy and the larger than life all over the place Leone epics are a more Homeric way of storytelling.
The thing about good bad ugly, in particular, is that whole sections could be edited out without the film becoming incoherent. It wouldn't be as good, of course, if we'd missed out on the trip through the desert, the civil war sequence, or other parts.
