To say that The Wild Bunch is a violent masterpiece would not be an understatement.

The pictorial style of the film — classical, elegiac — bumps up against the technique that fractures and prolongs death.

Apart from Peckinpah's simple technical control and the cut of his script, which is a knife that never slips off the bone, there is an angry quality to his mind.

Demystifying the traditional Western through raw, unglamorous violence, The Wild Bunch exploded onto the screen in 1969 and altered the face of the genre, and filmmaking, forever.

This controversial epic was as highly praised as it was condemned upon its release, boomingly announcing the arrival of daring new director.
