Marco Ferreri’s surrealist farce effectively dismantles traditional social and historical hierarchies through its use of absurdity. It successfully deconstructs the myth of the American West and challenges patriarchal dominance through its stylized, anachronistic setting. However, the film lacks explicit demographic diversity. Its exploration of LGBTQ+ themes focuses on disrupting traditional norms rather than affirming specific identities, and the cast remains predominantly European-centric. Ultimately, the work prioritizes intellectual subversion over the inclusion of diverse racial or identity-based perspectives.
