Influences




Next up: Spaghetti Westerns

One of my favourite... genres of film. Spaghetti Westerns emerged in the 1960’s when Sergio Leone established a unique style amongst the western genre just when it was growing stale. They were grittier, more exploitative and full of characters that were deceiving, sarcastic and cut-throat. This style/aesthetic influenced the town of Temperance which resembles a western town in appearance, and is populated by characters that have been corrupted, or influenced by their greed for gold.
