A event held at The Ill Repute on Sunday 1st February. The event starts at 19:00.
Revolution, betrayal and bullets by the dozen.
On Sunday 1st February, A Fistful of Film returns downstairs at The Ill Repute for our second screening and this time we’re heading south of the border for one of the most ferocious, stylish Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s.
We’ll be screening A Bullet for the General (1967), directed by Damiano Damiani and starring Gian Maria Volonté and Klaus Kinski at his most unsettling. Set during the Mexican Revolution, the film follows a mysterious American gunman who infiltrates a band of rebels but nothing, and no one, is quite what they seem.
This is a political Western with real bite: explosive set pieces, sharp satire, brutal violence and a pulsing Ennio Morricone score that lodges itself deep in your brain. Radical, cynical and endlessly cool, it’s a film about power, ideology and who really benefits when the dust settles.
• Location: Downstairs at The Ill Repute
• Date: Sunday 1st February
• Film starts: 7:00pm
If you like your Westerns dirty, political and uncompromising, this one’s unmissable.
Entry requirements: 18+
