Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) 1080p BluRay HEVC EAC3-SARTRE...

 In Sergio Leone's epic Western, shot partly in Monument Valley, a revenge story becomes an epic contemplation of the Western past. To get his hands on prime railroad land in Sweetwater, crippled railroad baron Morton (Gabriele Ferzetti) hires killers, led by blue-eyed sadist Frank (Henry Fonda), who wipe out property owner Brett McBain (Frank Wolff) and his family. McBain's newly arrived bride, Jill (Claudia Cardinale), however, inherits it instead. Both outlaw Cheyenne (Jason Robards) and lethally mysterious Harmonica (Charles Bronson) take it upon themselves to look after Jill and thwart Frank's plans to seize her land. As alliances and betrayals mutate, it soon becomes clear that Harmonica wants to get Frank for another reason -- it has "something to do with death." As in his "Dollars" trilogy, Leone transforms the standard Western plot through the visual impact of widescreen landscapes and the figures therein. At its full length, Once Upon a Time in the West is Leone's operatic masterwork, worthy of its legend-making title.

It follows the same structure, this time with the participants further discussing both the specifics and generalities of the shoot, sets and filming locations, Leone's insistence on authenticity, costuming and production design, the actors's dedication to their roles, anecdotes from the set, and the quality and style of the direction, amongst other insights. • Something to Do With Death  (480p, 18:16): This is the last of the three segments that more or less amount to a single documentary. This piece further examines the style of Director Sergio Leone, the role of sound and music in the film, the picture's editing, its legacy, and more. Some of the comments in all three of these features overlap from the commentary, but they do make for a nice additional companion and are worth plowing through. • Railroad: Revolutionising the West  (480p, 6:21): A brief educational-quality piece that looks at the early history of the American railroad. The supplement features participants from the previous documentaries and clips from the film that are meant to tie together the picture and the real history of its era. • Locations Then & Now  (480p, 4:20): A supplement that juxtaposes image from the film against those same locations as they were years later at the time the supplement was created. • Production Gallery  (480p, 5:16): Still photos set to music. • Theatrical Trailer  (1080p, 2:52) • Audio Commentary  : Directors John Carpenter, John Milius, and Alex Cox; Film Historians Sir Christopher Frayling and Dr. Sheldon Hall; Writer Bernardo Bertolucci; and Actress Claudia Cardinale are cobbled together for this commentary, which is hosted by Lancelot Narayan. For such a multiparticipant track, and edited together at that, this proves to be an easily rolling, informative, and very often enthralling commentary. Sir Christopher Frayling, who opens the commentary with a positively dazzling insight into the picture's famed opening, sets a wonderful tone for the remainder of the track while encapsulating in a few minutes what makes Once Upon a Time in the West so fantastic. This is a wonderful compliment to the film and is a must-listen track.
