Summary
Cult Cinema in March brings The Wild Bunch (1969), a controversial western by Sam Peckinpah, which is considered as the author's most acclaimed film and one of the most notable westerns in general. His controversial reputation is credited with scenes of extreme violence and action that made the film a great influence on American cinema. The Wild Bunch follows an elderly gang of outlaws on the Texas-Mexico border in 1913 trying to survive in an increasingly modern world, portraying the symbolic and rather bloody end of the outlaw era. We invite you to this special program with the film slogan: If you want to spend only two hours in the cinema and go home and forget about the movie - stay away from The Wild Bunch.
