criticism
Bruckner says, "Baldi's brutal and rich film can be counted among the best examples of those spaghetti westerns that were inspired by Greek tragedies, in this case [...] ( Aeschylus ')" Oresteia "". The story therefore revolves around "an excess of love, passion, betrayal and revenge, all the typical feelings that drive human actions forward".
Christian Keßler has a similar judgment : “The characters are driven by their origins, which have been thrown into imbalance by a nefarious act. [...] A thundering tragic western. "
