Curator's Take
“Tony Anthony again. This time he has a shotgun with four barrels. It ups the ante on the surrealism and violence, cementing the 'Stranger' universe as a bizarre alternative to Leone's world.”
Why This Movie Is Important
Tony Anthony doubles down on the surreal. With a pink parasol and a shotgun, the Stranger is a pop-art hero, a bizarre, postmodern figure anticipating the weirdness of 70s cinema.
