Many people know and love the 'spaghetti westerns' of the 60-70s for their specific unique atmosphere of the Wild West, recreated by Italians and staged in Spain or northern Africa. 'The Good, the Bad, the Ugly', 'Once Upon a Time in the Wild West', 'A Few Dollars More', and hundreds and hundreds of lesser-known films of this genre. But something similar was not only in Italy ... The meditative, desert-tinted German Western Deadlock is a story about human vices, which take on different faces - cowardice in Charlie's manifestation, self-interest in the person of a merchant, or the dastardly betrayal of his friend in the person of Sanshay. The atmosphere of unhurried and desolate atmosphere is complemented by the surroundings of a forgotten town abandoned by God, in which life used to boil and the eccentricity of the images of an old drunken dancer and her mentally retarded daughter, who at the same time looks like the most 'human' character in this whole story, thickens. A very good movie worth watching, if only out of curiosity.
By the way, the soundtrack for the film belongs to the legendary German krautrock group Can, who knows what I mean, he realized that it is very cool.
