THE EXPERIENCE
Step into the violent poetry of Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch—selected as one of Eddington filmmaker Ari Aster’s favorite Westerns.
From Ari:
“The final Western (or at least the first of the final Westerns). The genre as they knew it had been shot to ribbons, its head exploded all over the wall in depraved slow-motion. The ending is eternal.
If ever there was a director that could only have been a raging alcoholic, it was Peckinpah. He is a father to so many.”
ON SCREEN: The Wild Bunch
1969. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Runtime: 2 hours 15 minutes. Rated R.
An aging group of outlaws look for one last big score as the “traditional” American West is disappearing around them. Often cited as the definitive anti-Western, The Wild Bunch redefined the genre with its visceral, choreographed violence and its elegy for a mythic American frontier in decline.
