br. Quali sono i western da vedere assolutamente? Quelli con John Wayne o con Clint Eastwood, quelli che raccontano la lotta contro i banditi o quelli con gli Apache e i Sioux? Genere magmatico per definizione, capace di sfuggire a ogni definizione o catalogazione, il western fonda il suo fascino proprio in questa dimensione universale: in fondo basta un cappello o un cavallo o l'immagine di un canyon per farci entrare nelle sue atmosfere e farci catturare dal suo fascino. Per parlarci di storia e di mitologia, di cultura e di folclore, di avventura e di politica. Non per niente è stato definito "il genere cinematografico per eccellenza americano". E questi sono i capolavori che non si possono non aver visto...

brossura Texas, 1949. Lacerato ogni legame che lo stringeva alla terra e alla famiglia, John Grady Cole sella il cavallo e insieme all'amico Rawlins si mette sull'antica pista che conduce alla frontiera e più in là al Messico, inseguendo un passato nobile e, forse, mai esistito. Attraverso la vastità di un territorio maestoso e senza tempo, i due cowboy, cui si aggiunge il tragico e selvaggio Blevins, intraprendono un viaggio mitico che li porterà fin nel cuore aspro e desolato dei monti messicani. Qui la vita sembra palpitare allo stesso ritmo dei cavalli bradi e gli occhi di Alejandra possono "in un batter di cuore sconvolgere il mondo". Con una narrazione che all'asciuttezza stilistica di Hemingway unisce la ritmicità incantatoria di Faulkner, McCarthy strappa al cinema il sogno western e lo restituisce, con sorprendente potere evocativo, alla letteratura.
brossura A consolidare la fama di McCarthy, da una decina d'anni riconosciuto come il vero erede di quella intensità visionaria che risale a Melville e a Faulkner, è stata questa suggestiva storia di un viaggio iniziatico. Alle soglie della seconda guerra mondiale, Billy, giovane figlio di un piccolo allevatore del New Mexico, riesce a catturare la lupa che minaccia il bestiame, ma non la lascia uccidere: cerca anzi di riportarla sulle montagne messicane, di restituirla al suo mondo, che è poi anche quello di una nonna molto amata. Comincia un lungo viaggio avventuroso che porterà Billy e il fratello Boyd a perdersi e a ritrovarsi in un paesaggio metafisico e spietato.
