Western movies from independent, auteur and cult cinema. This collection explores the genre beyond its best-known image: the dusty classics of the frontier, the Italian westerns that reinvented its rules with irony and violence, and the revisionist films that question the myth of the cowboy and the conquest of the land. Alongside the old western films there are modern westerns and independent takes that move the genre to new landscapes, from the desert to the plains, from forgotten towns to the edges of the map. These are stories of outlaws, drifters, revenge and survival, made by filmmakers who treat the western as a living form and not as a museum piece.
