Seven Men From Now (1956) is one of my five favorite westerns. Budd Boetticher's cinema is a matter of style and here find one of their best means of expression. Like all his films is made of tension, almost minclímax in which the characters are tested, nothing better to contrast than the grammar simple, direct and expressive.
There is a resource that is repeated in the movie three times with brilliant wit. In this film, every shot is actually a subjective level it reveals to the observer, a shadow looms. What is the aperture.:
What is to introduce the two bandits, the charismatic Marsters (Lee Marvin) and his partner Clete (Donald Barry).
And it is to report the shooting to be faced by the protagonist, Striver sheriff (Randolph Scott).
Like the best stylists, Boetticher is not repetitive but depleted resources, providing them with multiple uses expressive.
