Keoma (1976)
Movie
Released
A returning veteran finds his hometown divided by armed power, prejudice and disease, so the homecoming offers no stable refuge. Franco Nero's ragged presence and the emphatic music make this Italian western feel almost operatic. It is an atmospheric late-period choice for viewers drawn to ruined communities and extravagant emotion more than understated realism.

About Keoma
Half-breed Keoma returns to his border hometown after service in the Civil War and finds it under the control of Caldwell, an ex-Confederate raider, and his vicious gang of thugs. To make matters worse, Keoma's three half-brothers have joined forces with Caldwell, and make it painfully clear that his return is an unwelcome one. Determined to break Caldwell and his brothers' grip on the town, Keoma partners with his father's former ranch hand to exact violent revenge.
