Marilù Tolo

Known for his suave, bourgeois characters, Michel Piccoli underwent a brutish and animalistic transformation in Claude Faraldo’s provocative cult film, which dispenses entirely with dialogue. Comprising grunts and gestures, Themroc is an antiestablishment battle cry against society’s conformism.

Italian wildcard Giulio Questi pushed the limits (and censorship!) of what one could show in a movie in his brilliantly twisted cinema. With this, his debut, he forged what boldly stands today as perhaps the most bloody, reviled, and ecstatic of spaghetti westerns. Not for the faint of heart!
