Still, the western / cowboy film remains a genre close to the American’s heart and always in our adventure-loving imagination. Plus, the genre’s most famous director grew up in Rome. And how the ground on which Clint Eastwood and others shot was by the Mediterranean, not beneath the American blood meridian. Like how many of the genre’s ancestors were wielding samurai swords, not colt revolvers. The lone no-named figure venturing forth into the wild, into the frontier, into the lawless unknown regions of a country still unearthing its identity. The western-and by extension, cowboy-may be the only cinematic genre that, on first glance, feels uniquely American.
