Abstract

Most 1960s and 1970s film critics minimized or dismissed the aesthetic value of the films linked to the spaghetti Western cycle, produced at that time in the Italy-Spain axis. However, Sergio Leone, aleading film maker to emerge from the cycle, broke this barrier and became an influential director over the years. This article aims tomaphow this trajectory occurred and to assess the reasons why this change took place in the statute of value linked to the work of Leone, takingas a case study a collection of all the texts published in the journal Cahiers du Cinema - an obligatory reference in inter- national film criticism -, since 1964, about the director’s films.
