A Taste of Death

From 1964 to 1975, Sergio Leone imagined a spaghetti-flavored West, more violent and ruthless than the real West. In the "Dollars" trilogy, where death had a price, we were introduced to Clint Eastwood, who personified the archetype of the anti-hero, cunning and quick on the trigger. His films are major references in Cinema, whose stories, immortalized on celluloid, will live forever in our collective memory. 60 years later, the VHS Podcast in collaboration with The World is a Set, traveled to Almería, in the south of Spain, looking for a mirage in the Tabernas desert and there to tell a story... that of Leone.
