Prof Sir Christopher Frayling (LICA) will be giving a public talk on the making of Sergio Leone's 1968 Western, 'Once upon a Time in the West'. The talk will be followed by a rare screening of the film.
Christopher Frayling's publication cover a wide range of topics from theoretical work on practice-based research in the arts to work on gothic film and literature, historical studies of costume and production design in cinema, and his most recent work on the representation of art and artists on Hollywood films. Perhaps his most well-known work is the pioneering research on the Italian western, beginning with his landmark 1981 book, Spaghetti Westerns: Cowboys from Karl May to Sergio Leone, the first serious critical analysis of this genre. This talk emerges from this extensive and influential body of research, and concentrates on Sergio Leone's epic 1968 Western, drawing on interviews with Leone and screenwriter Bernardo Bertolucci.
