Outlaw Bart is about to be hanged when a gang of Mexican bandidos ride into town and rescue him, only for him to shoot them and then ride away to his hideout where he and his gang plan to rob a stage. But Bart is shot, leaving the sadistic gang members to deal with the loot, a mysterious stranger (Castel), a woman who has lost her husband in an accident and their ghost town hideout’s only inhabitant. —The Spaghetti Western Database
an art film made in the Spaghetti Western system. not a great film, but great in terms of its experimental use of cinematography, editing, and sound design within a formal narrative structure. MATALO is wrongly put along side Jadorowsky's El Topo which is conscious & political in stepping out side of the genre.. MATALO is more along the lines of Tinto Brass' Deadly Sweet with its playful cinematic vocabulary.
