Eddie; seeped in booze, wobbling through life. Richie; vain, stupid, bossy, trying to be posh. Both of them ultra-violent (in a slapstick way) and in need of a shag off a nice bird in a smashing blouse.

Apparently, Red Sun is Quentin Tarantino’s favourite ‘spaghetti’ western, and it’s easy to see why.

A classic of not just the 90s, but one which still holds up strong today.

You could definitely call it an early ‘revisionist’ Western that was inspired by events of the 1864 Sand Creek massacre in Colorado, made in 1969 it’s also a glaring allegory for the then contemporary Vietnam War.

This film is very much of its time, like an ‘all woman’ Fatal Attraction where the women are either mad and promiscuous or needy and pliable for their man, yet angry and empowered when an employer tries to make Allie give him a BJ.

Based on the 1960s series of the same name The Man from U.N.C.L.E. directed and written by Guy Ritchie, so right away you know you’re in for a quirky film.

No spoilers here, just an enthusiastic recommendation for you to buy and watch this wonderful film. This is not a love story, it’s a life story, a soul story and yes it may have some extremely violent scenes in it, it has to be one of the best (along with I Saw The Devil) films to come out of Korea.

The intricacies and emotion in this are truly astounding and it is hands down, one of the best nature documentaries I have ever seen. It’s just beautiful, and you’d think watching a film for 90 mins about a tree would be hard work, but it is as exciting as any Bond film.

I can only describe this as a sort of mixture of Beetlejuice and every Gothy type teeny series on Netflix – like Sabrina and Wednesday, but with a darker (rapey, murdery) edge.
