  • Edgar Wright – A Fistful of Fingers (1995)

    1991-2000ComedyEdgar WrightUnited KingdomWestern

    “This goofy, delightfully sophomoric British spoof on spaghetti westerns was made for only $15,000 and that, along with the booming faux-Morricone score, only heightens the humor. Filmed in lush, green southwestern England (doubling for arid New Mexico), it chronicles the exploits of taciturn hero No Name and his stereotypical Indian side-kick Running Sore as they search for the nefarious villain The Squint.” – All Movie GuideRead More »

  • Ben Hopkins – Simon Magus (1999)

    Ben HopkinsDramaFantasyUnited Kingdom

    synopsis – AMG:
    Director of award-winning short films Ben Hopkins embarked on this ambitious feature project with Robert Jones, the producer of The Usual Suspects. The screenplay is inspired by Central European folklore, spaghetti Westerns and industrial history. But the film, which runs like a fable, has its roots in folktales rather than history. It is the end of the 19th century and progress has arrived in Silesia. Travelers do not stop at the town anymore because the railway track is laid past the small settlement. Incomes have dropped, and so has the number of inhabitants. Noah Taylor plays Simon, a ‘holy fool’ of sorts, persecuted by fellow villagers who hold him responsible for everything from the failure of the crops to the milk going sour. Read More »
