In the mid-sixties, the maverick American director Monte Hellman conceived of two westerns at the same time. DreamIike and gritty by turns, the two films would prove their maker's adeptness at brilIiantly deconstructing genre. As shot back-to-back for famed producer Roger Corman, they feature overIapping casts and crews, including Jack Nicholson in two of his meatiest earIy roles. The films -The Shooting, about a motIey assortment of loners foIlowing a mysterious wanted man through a desolate frontier, and Ride in the WhirIwind, about a group of cowhands pursued by vigilantes for crimes they did not commit - are rigorous, artful, and wholIy unconventionaI journeys into the American West. |
