This documentary functions as a biographical study of a filmmaker who fundamentally challenged the hierarchies of the Western genre. It prioritizes the deconstruction of cinematic clichés and genre-based archetypes over modern identity-driven narratives. The film's strength lies in its exploration of how Leone's work subverts traditional cultural norms and moral certainties. However, the focus remains heavily on the director's technical legacy and masculine-coded genre evolution. Ultimately, the score reflects a meaningful engagement with the subversion of Western mythos rather than an explicit focus on characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity or diverse character identities.
