Unforgiven
1992 | Western | USA | Directed by Clint Eastwood
Overview
A retired pig farmer takes one last bounty and the myth of the west dies with him. Eastwood deconstructed his own archetype: killing is ugly, heroes are drunks and kids, and the saloon women are scarred people. Four Oscars including Picture and Director. The revisionist western that closed the genre circle. Deserve has got nothing to do with it.
