Richard B. Jewell quoted
In the LA Times
Critical Studies professor Richard B. Jewell was quoted in the
Los Angeles Times today about the
recently restored 1968 Sergio Leone film
Once Upon A Time in the West.
Film historians and critics look upon the film as a true masterpiece, the story stated. "It's so original,"
Jewell said. "It's this kind of melange of different elements and styles, and yet it coheres," he
added. "It holds together and has this very unique vision, which is Leone's vision. It's just an exhilarating
movie. If you love cinema, this is one of those films that transports you to another realm."
