The Good, the Bad and the Ugly 1966
A very slow and meandering thing, especially in that first hour before the gang stumbles upon what will become the Main Quest. It is a three hour film where you *feel* those three hours, often slow for deliberate tension but just as frequently an artifact for the time it was made.

Brutal to see Basel still running the same protests as his father 20 years on, still fighting the same struggle for the right to a home and school, and having to confront whether he'll have to step back for the same…
