Clint Eastwood and Sergio Leone’s wild West
‘The Man With No Name Trilogy’ revisits three mid-’60s films, this time in Blu-ray.
There is no middle ground in Sergio Leone’s West. His magisterial, half-mad westerns deal in sweeping long shots and incandescent close-ups, but he has little use for the comfortable medium shot that French cinéastes call the “plan américain .” The all-or-nothing approach was dictated in part by the limitations of Techniscope, the cut-rate widescreen process that made it difficult to focus on the middle distance. But Leone was given to extremes in any case, a tendency that comes to glorious fruition over the course of the films in MGM’s “The Man With No Name Trilogy,” to be released this week on Blu-ray.
