A Town Called Bastard (also known as A Town Called Hell on DVD and Blu-ray) is a 1971 international co-production spaghetti Western. It was shot in Madrid with Robert Shaw, Telly Savalas, Stella Stevens and Martin Landau.[2][3][4]

It was released on blu-ray on 18 August 2015.[5] The film was retitled A Town Called Hell for US release as the word "bastard" was thought offensive.[6]

Plot

In 1903 Mexico, a small town is presided over by a tyrant who commands a grizzled outlaw and his men. Also in town is a priest with a violent past, who has abandoned his clerical duties. ...

A while back I was watching a surrealist western cowboy film and I thought it was fun, but I was like: it'd be cool if there was something like halway between the fully far-out surrealist western cowboy film and a regular western cowboy film.

This is that movie. Things don't make sense if you try to piece it all together as a story with narrative coherence, but they do make sense at a mythic level. Like there are bad guys and more bad guys, and it's a little hard to keep track of them, and you can never be sure who's gonna die right now and who's gonna make it, and there's violence and more violence. And there's this truly wacky flashback, and a couple other flashbacks that can be hard to situate. And I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure there are no good guys. There are quests and searches and fights and characters who show up just to die and do things turn out OK in the end? Kinda, I guess... I mean, all of this, that's what life is really like, yes? Really, violence and revenge and death don't make a whole lot of sense. Really it's all kinda hazy, like a summer day spent out in the desert heat without water.

I don't think they did it on purpose, but I like the way this movie turned out. Don't think about it too much, just watch it and take it as it is, and you might find it's a pretty good film.

Watching this right now. It's weird! But I kind of like it, I think.
